Distributed Energy Generation and Grid Integration Sample Clauses

Distributed Energy Generation and Grid Integration. Distributed generation is small, modular energy resources that are generally located near where the energy is used. Grid integration of distributed generation is the physical connection of a distributed energy resource with the electric power system, an interconnection that generally allows two-way power flow. This section focuses primarily on renewable energy sources. Potentially Relevant NASA Resources ▪ Meteorology data, including temperature, cloud cover, and visibility ▪ Solar radiation ▪ Wind resources ▪ Reservoir height and rainfall ▪ Seasonal climatology models ▪ General circulation models Current Status/Relevant Issues For either renewable or non-renewable distributed energy sources, the challenges in interconnection relate to varying state interconnection requirements and economic disincentives for interconnection. A major issue for the grid integration of renewable distributed energy sources is understanding and forecasting the energy generation output for sources that vary over time such as wind and solar power, and to a lesser extent hydropower. This information is needed for efficient grid operations and also for crafting policies that appropriately credit distributed energy sources for their grid contributions. NREL has developed a computer model called XXXXX that simplifies the task of evaluating design options for both off-grid and grid-connected power systems including distributed generation applications. NASA is indirectly supporting this effort through its partnership with NREL aimed at improving the National Solar Radiation Database. DOE is also working to develop a modular interconnection technology that can provide reasonably priced interconnection for all distributed generation sources while increasing functionality for energy management and grid support. This work includes the development of advanced control and monitoring technologies and operational concepts to enhance the integration and aggregation of distributed energy resources with electric power systems.61 Example Projects with NASA Involvement Decision Support System / Database Participants None identified.

  • Allocation and use of scarce resources Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources, including frequencies, numbers and rights of way, will be carried out in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. The current state of allocated frequency bands will be made publicly available, but detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.

  • Development or Offering of Renewable Energy Sources Competitive Supplier agrees that it will comply with the applicable provisions of X.X.X. x. 00X, § 00X, § 00 F1/2, and any regulations, orders or policies adopted pursuant thereto.

  • Non-Synchronous Generation The Interconnection Customer shall design its Small Generating Facility to maintain a composite power delivery at continuous rated power output at the high-side of the generator substation at a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, unless the NYISO or the Transmission Owner in whose Transmission District the Small Generating Facility interconnects has established a different power factor range that applies to all similarly situated non-synchronous generators in the control area or Transmission District (as applicable) on a comparable basis, in accordance with Good Utility Practice. This power factor range standard shall be dynamic and can be met using, for example, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors, or a combination of the two. This requirement shall only apply to newly interconnecting non-synchronous generators that have not yet executed a Facilities Study Agreement as of September 21, 2016.

  • Synchronous Generation The Interconnection Customer shall design its Small Generating Facility to maintain a composite power delivery at continuous rated power output at the Point of Interconnection at a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, unless the NYISO or the Transmission Owner in whose Transmission District the Small Generating Facility interconnects has established different requirements that apply to all similarly situated generators in the New York Control Area or Transmission District (as applicable) on a comparable basis, in accordance with Good Utility Practice.
