Making Connections: Case Studies of Interconnection Barriers and their Impact on Distributed Power Projects

Making Connections: Case Studies of Interconnection Barriers and their Impact on Distributed Power Projects

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Distributed power is modular electric generation or storage located close to the point of use. Based on interviews of distributed generation project proponents, this report reviews the barriers that distributed generators of electricity are encountering when attempting to interconnect to the electrical grid. Descriptions of 26 of 65 case studies are included in the report. The survey found andthe report describes a wide range of technical, business-practice, and regulatory barriers to interconnection. An action plan for reducing the impact of these barriers is also included.
