Towards an intermittency-friendly energy system: Comparing electric boilers and heat pumps in distributed cogeneration (2012, background): “Evidence suggests that a distributed energy system is cost-effective; it results in higher second-law system efficiencies and better supports the use of local resources to which can be added benefits from local innovation, businesses, jobs, and social coherence [24–29].”
Control Strategy for Flexible Microgrid Based on Parallel Line-Interactive UPS Systems (2009, background): “Hence, storage energy systems are required if we want to supply the local loads in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) fashion [1], [2], [31], [32].”
Sustainability evaluation of decentralized electricity generation (2009, background): “The results show that a decentralization of electricity generation with respect to sustainability cannot be rated as clearly positive or negative, as also pointed out by Alanne and Saari [ 15 ].”
Trading on local energy markets: A comparison of market designs and bidding strategies (2017, background): “being substituted by distributed generation that is located close to its consumers in a bottom-up way [1].”
Distributed energy resource system optimisation using mixed integer linear programming (2013, background): “…DER systems allow for the utilisation of local renewable resources (e.g. indigenous biomass sources), and add a degree of flexibility, resilience, and control to the way in which energy is provided to the consumer (Alanne and Saari, 2006; Alarcon-Rodriguez et al., 2010; Ren and Gao, 2010).”
Small Scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC): A Techno-Economic Review (2017, background): “To this end, experts agree that a key approach to reach this goal is the on-site generation of electricity [2].”
Market design for a high-renewables European electricity system (2018, background): “Many forms of DG are cleaner than current conventional power, and should be able to provide ancillary services, and can contribute to security of supply if consumers switch to it during stress periods (Alanne and Saari, 2006; Cossent et al., 2011; Ruggiero et al., 2015).”
Progress in electrical energy storage system: A critical review (2009, background): “Deferred from the conventional power system which has large, centralized units, DERs are usually installed at the distribution level, close to the place of utilisation, and generate power typically in the small range of a few kW to a few MW [25].”
Optimal investment and unit sizing of distributed energy systems under uncertainty: A robust optimization approach (2014, background): “The cons of distributed systems are heavily outweighed by their pros, therefore, the experts suggested that the energy systems should be combinatory and comprised of both systems [2].”
A review on clean energy solutions for better sustainability (2015, background): “Alanne and Saari [50] compared the reliability of distributed and centralized Table IX.”
Business model innovation for sustainable energy: how German municipal utilities invest in offshore wind energy (2013, background): “This distributed form of renewable energy generation (also often referred to as residential generation) is often seen as a potential pillar of the future energy landscape and associated with substantial environmental benefits (Alanne and Saari, 2006; Omer, 2008).”
Hierarchical Control of Droop-Controlled AC and DC Microgrids—A General Approach Toward Standardization (2009, background): “AC MGs are now in the cutting edge of the state of the art [20]–[25].”
