Distributed energy resources, or DER, are small-scale energy systems that power a nearby location. DER can be connected to electric grids or isolated, with energy flowing only to specific sites or functions. . Distributed generation, also distributed energy, on-site generation (OSG), [1] or district/decentralized energy, is electrical generation and storage performed by a variety of small, grid -connected or distribution system-connected devices referred to as distributed energy resources (DER). What are DERs? Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are small, modular energy generation and storage. . Distributed generation (DG) in the residential and commercial buildings sectors and in the industrial sector refers to onsite, behind-the-meter energy generation. DG often includes electricity from renewable energy systems such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and small wind turbines, as well as battery. . By generating and storing electricity closer to the point of consumption, DERs reduce energy losses and provide backup power during outages, making them an attractive option for businesses, communities, and utilities.
