RE: Dispersed Generation: A Cleaner, Secure and Sustainable Energy
Dispersed generation is an obvious solution for transmission line congestion.Also since it is close to the consumers, the losses as a result of transmission and distribution network will be averted. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I am very happy you were able to pick some points off my post. In centralised system, generators are located at places where the conditions are favourable for the particular generator and most times it is usually far away from the load centers. The only way out is to generate the power and step up the voltage for transmission. There is no perfect conductor and there would always be losses proportional to the square of the current which is unavoidable. There is also additional spennding in the procurement of transmission and distribution network. But this cost disappears when you adopt Dispersed generation which is quite close to the consumers and as a result needs no transmission or distribution structures.
