distribution system of the future,
which treats renewable or other
distributed generation as an intrinsic component and shifts the
focus from mitigating impacts or
restricting proliferation to fully
exploiting their potential benefits.
Utility and other energy company
business case issues related
to microgrids and distributed
generation, including rooftop
photovoltaics
✔✔ microgrids and distributed resources should be viewed as integral elements of the overall electrical grid.
traditional grids and microgrids
should be purposefully integrated
into hybrid grids to fulfill all consumer needs, with transmission as
an enabler to support integration of
renewable resources.

✔✔ the microgrid business case de-
pends on benefits achieved for the
consumer and the provider. Key
aspects include costs, efficiency,
reliability, safety, and resiliency, all
supported by and coordinated with
the balance of the grid in a manner
that enables the utility or energy
company to defer more expensive
investment or to manage its grid in
a less costly manner.
✔✔ Policy should support value creation, with results-based rewards,
and not unduly favor either incumbent utilities or nonutility microgrid sponsors.
The technical implications
for the grid (bulk and local
distribution) of electric vehicle
integration -and the timing you see
as necessary to avoid having
the grid status slow down any
potential progress
✔✔ the generation and transmission
systems can handle millions of
plug-in electric vehicles without
any need for additional capacity.
although not a realistic expectation, even electrification of the
entire passenger fleet would only
add about 10% to U.S. electricity
requirements.
✔✔ there is a good understanding of technical issues that may
arise on the distribution system.
Generally, the issues relate to
potential overloads of distribution
transformers and circuits, changes
in equipment cooling patterns,
or the inability to accommodate
high-power charging in older
neighborhoods with legacy distribution infrastructure.
