OSTI ID:5493392
This Workshop sought to arrive at agreement on the best approaches for taking advantage of the desirable characteristics of both centralized and decentralized systems and to develop guidelines for the necessary transactions between centralized and decentralized systems. The topics considered in depth are: characteristics of centralized and decentralized systems; implication of energy demand and prices; decentralized technologies; the user view; the regulator view; the utility view; the public policy view; and energy research and commercialization policy. It was concluded that: centralized and decentralized energy technologies are not mutually exclusive to any major degree; decentralized systems will come into increasing use; the interest of the consumer and the utilities as well as the introduction of new technology will be best served by competition among competent producers, including utilities; and research and development should emphasize demonstration of decentralized technologies. Some policy changes are recommended. Conclusions reached by the Workshop on the future roles of centralized utility systems and of decentralized electricity and cogeneration options needed to resolve these issues are discussed in detail.
