How To Manage Distributed Energy Resources More Effectively
What are Distributed Energy Resources? Distributed energy resources (DER) is the term used to describe the many types of energy generation and storage technologies that provide electric capacity or energy where it is needed. With smaller outputs than traditional generating resources like centralized power plants, DER systems are often sized…
