Heila will become part of Kohler’s Power Group – a global leader in engines, power generation and clean energy. Heila Technologies was founded in 2015 as an MIT-born company in Somerville, Mass. and is dedicated to simplifying the integration and operation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and microgrids. ...
However, there are several main areas that constitute a key focus for renewable energy systems. Distributed Energy Systems (DER) and Demand-Response (DR) DER and DR are two closely related terms with prosumer as a common thread. ...

” What the industry analysts have missed However, what the analysts have not necessarily considered is the crucial role distributed renewable energy combined with storage will play in creating a more resilient grid, providing power security for customers in homes, businesses, and communities around the world. ...
Power companies that take initiative now can position themselves for a bright future in tomorrow’s clean energy economy The growth of distributed energy generation, particularly in the form of solar energy, leaves the aging, monopolistic electric utility system a daunting choice: Come out swinging in defense of the status ...

This issue brief is the first in a series of three that focus on expanding the delivery of affordable, renewable energy in developing countries. It describes the core business strategies employed by a group of socially oriented energy enterprises and organizations working to provide distributed, renewable ...
The effectiveness of the proposed methodology has been shown in terms of maximum instantaneous safe wind energy penetration limit, in percentage and also maximum safe bus loading point, explicitly beyond which system drives into instability.Keywords: wind power generation, wind penetration, power system modelling, robust control, Weibull distribution, ...
This paper introduces a module-based approach to modelling and controlling electricity infrastructure with a high penetration of distributed renewable energy resources. Each energy-converting component is defined as a module and is represented in terms of its local variables and the interaction variables between the module and ...
Concerns over global warming and high oil prices are expected to lead to a continuous increase in electricity generated by distributed renewable energy sources and small-scale embedded generators (SSEGs). This increase in SSEG will pose numerous technical challenges for distribution network operators. The small-scale ...
And more recently, the smallest state in the nation became a big innovator in energy efficiency policy. Rhode Island in 2006 passed a law that requires National Grid, its major electric utility, to eke out all cost-effective energy efficiency before turning to power plants for generation. ...
Unquestionably, in the last years, the number of generators connected directly to electric power distribution systems has increased. In addition, the main statistics and signals show that such tendency could become even more intense in the coming years. As a consequence of this policy, many technical factors related to control, protection, operation and analysis of ...
The key issue to the widespread of distributed generation (DG) is the ability to safely, reliably and economically interconnect new energy sources with the existing distribution network 'utility grid'. With the rising prices of petroleum fuel sources, a high expected penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) ...
