Distributed Generation
Distributed power generation or distributed energy resources (DER) are typically smaller grid-connected generation sources that generate and/or store electricity. In contrast to traditional centralized generation, DER's, such as Pine Creek Power Systems™ RemoteCP™, are modular decentralized systems that have the flexibility of providing reliable power close to the load, while offering ancillary services such as peak shaving, frequency and voltage regulation, line hardening, power quality correction and backup functions to the interconnected circuit.
Our projects typically employ renewable generation sources, combined with BESS and thermal generation to allow islanding microgrid functionality. Microgrids have the benefit of being able to disconnect or island from the central grid to provide autonomous, continuous power, while also providing grid resilience.
