Custom power applications as a distributed resource
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:226988
Distributed resources and custom power applications are described as follows: (1) Distributed resources. The application of dispersed generation, storage, and load control for reduced system costs, (2) Custom power. The application of advanced power electronic equipment for increased reliability for preferred customers. The application of distributed resources may result in lower reliability and power quality for customers on selected feeders because of the lower reliability of generation and storage equipment compared to the reliability of system upgrades. Custom power is a natural complement for distributed resources, providing increased reliability to preferred customers on affected feeders. Custom power technologies include the application of power electronic converters operating at distribution voltages to mitigate disturbances at customer load sites.
