Description: Far-reaching technical and social consequences are resulting from deregulation of the US electrical utility industry initiated in the early 1990s. Distributed Generation-the substitution of centralized electricity production by smaller-scale technologies located within buildings and powered by natural gas or renewable resource-lies at the heart of this transformation. Because of the novelty of this new industry, until now no book existed that describes its key features. Distributed Generation: The Power Paradigm for the New Millennium details the near-term technologies that will see application in the next few years. Interest in this area is worldwide, and this book-with chapters contributed by the top experts in the field-will undoubtedly become the standard reference for the industry.
