Distributed Energy Systems
More bidirectional and fragmented
Traditional grid Definition of distributed energy
systems (<100 MW, low or medium
voltage level)
‒ Low and medium voltage level,
typical size 0,1-1 MW
‒ Distributed generation sources,
e.g. PV, engines, wind turbines,
small gas turbines with <60 MW
‒ Energy automation and manage-
ment software and controls,
e.g. DEMS, VPP
‒ Power electronics and
electrification equipment,
e.g. inverter, breaker, switches
‒ Storage systems,
e.g. batteries, heat storages
‒ Heating and cooling equipment,
e.g. boilers, absorption chillers
