DER technologies share common characteristics
• They are located at or close to the load
• They are small (1 kw-50 mw)
• They have short installation times
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
DER technologies are also diverse
• Renewable and fossil fuels
• Commercial and experimental
• Utility and private ownership
• On-grid and off-grid

Financing DER Projects
This activity represents private investment institutions, venture capitalists, and government funding sources. Services provided, include: (a) investor-linked project finance;
(b) project tenders-linked finance;
(c) project procurement-linked finance; and
(d) project finance services
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Project Barriers to DeploymentTechnical barriers
• Interconnection standards (necessary if >300 kw)
Technical standards can help
• Texas pre-certifies DG technologies
Regulatory BarriersStandby charges
Exit fees
Net metering
Uplift charges

Information
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Recommendations
• Develop the business case for DER
• Demonstrate DER technologies
• Exchange information supporting DER
• Study DER standards
• Explore innovative financing mechanisms for DER
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Develop the business case for DER
Include all factors in defining “cost effectiveness”
Potential applications for DER
Appropriate technologies.
Financing opportunities.
Overcoming barriers.
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Demonstrate DER technologies
Some Not all DER technologies are commercially mature, others need demonstration
• Example: A partnership between the State of Hawaii, U.S. Department of Energy, and the private sector will demonstrate the feasibility of manufacturing hydrogen using renewable electric sources
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Exchange information supporting DER
• Other suggested 2-3 day workshops on more focused topics related to DER such as:
– Specific distributed generation technologies such as the fuel cell;– Electricity storage technologies; and– Regulations for interconnection of DER on existing electric grids
• Examine virtual conferencing• Include DER information on APEC website
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Study DER standards
Technology and interconnection standards would alleviate grid connection barriers
• Reliability;• Power quality;• Voltage regulation;• Safety; and• System efficiency
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Explore innovative financing mechanisms
Applications of DER by electric utilities are typically financed by ratepayers of the utilities. Financing for customer and off-grid applications can be obtained from one or more sources:
Governments from tax revenues; Private firms; Commercial banks; Bilateral aid institutions; Multilateral aid institutions; and Private foundations.

Postscript: Why DER
• There has been a fundamental change in the relationship between electrical generation plant size and plant efficiency. One on longer has to build large facilities to obtain high generation efficiencies.
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Postscript: Why DG
• When linked with combined heat and power (CHP), distributed generation can cost effectively reduce GHG emissions 50% or more on an application basis.
Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies (EGNRET)
Linked DG/CHP cost effectively reduces GHG emissions
• Conventional: – Electric power: 60% loss at point of electric
power generation, 10% transmission lost– Thermal: 20% loss at production stage
• DG/CHP– Thermal load is provided by electric generation
waste heat, eliminating thermal circuit
