Micro-Generation
Micro-generation systems range in size from a few kilowatts (kW) to 500 kW. They bring power generation to the customer's site and make it possible for the customer to disconnect from the grid, if desired. A small number of customers with micro-generators may choose to connect to a local micro-grid to enhance reliability and further reduce the cost of power. The emergence of Micro-Generation Technologies has the potential to create a structural shift with major impact on the way the electric utility industry operates.

The Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions - (CERTS) was formed in 1999 to research, develop, and disseminate new methods, tools, and technologies to protect and enhance the reliability of the U.S. electric power system and efficiency of competitive electricity markets. DER are autonomous generating, storage, and load control technologies that are typically located at customer premises and operated for the customer's benefit. They include microturbines, fuel cells, photovoltaic systems, and traditional internal combustion engines. CERTS is evaluating how these resources, when deployed in large numbers, affect and could be modified to enhance electricity grid reliability. Website.
