Reduction in Greenhouse Gases Emission Using Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in Distribution Network
Keywords:
Distributed generation, Distributed energy resources, Greenhouse emission, Combined heat and power.Abstract
This article presents a study of distributed generation resources to reduce greenhouse emission in a distribution network. According to report of the International Energy Outlook (IEO), 80%of the total energy generation in 2025 would be produced from fossil fuels. This global dependence on fossil fuels is dangerous to our environment because it emits greenhouse gases. Recent research tells that with the use of distributed generation we can reduce the emission of these gases. Distributed generation consists of different renewable energy sources used in generation of electric power. In this, we reduce greenhouse gases in a micro-grid using combined heat and power processes. We will also study about other renewable energy sources which are used to reduce the emission of gases and improve environment as well as availability of supply.
