Non-Wire Alternatives: An Additional Value Stream for Distributed Energy Resources
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy"
DOI: 10.1109/tste.2019.2922882
Abstract: Distributed energy resources (DERs) can serve as non-wire alternatives (NWAs) to capacity expansion by managing peak load to avoid or delay traditional expansion projects. However, the value stream derived from using DERs as NWAs is… read more here.
