Talk:Distributed generation

message: I was actually redirected to this page, having searched for District Energy - a good page I referred to yesterday.
This Distributed Power page does not cover the district energy topic, except in passing; instead it seems to push an agenda of distributed generation - related, and arguable laudable, but definitely *not* the topic of district energy.  IanGTheaker (talk) 16:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

:The anonymous editor is correct, I found the book on Google Print, and many parts of this article were a cut/paste copyvio. I'm trying to determine if there's enough left to salvage, or if it should be deleted. Seraphimblade 06:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Traditional suppliers are connected to the grid at a transmission level. If distributed generation came in to widespread use, most distributed generators would be connected to the grid at the distribution level, which is the portion of the delivery network, built with limited capacity.
I don't know if here is the place to ask the question, but How do they solve security problems of connecting to the grid? I mean, How do they make sure there is not electricity to do the maintenance in the transmission system? There should be a solution I would like to know how it works. --Nachoj (talk) 20:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: "The plus side is that unlike coal and hydropower, there are no pollution, mining safety or operating safety issues."
OTOH the majority of solar PV installs use lead acid batteries, which do come with operating safety issues.

message: A bit confused about the prices per watt. Why don't we just use current prices of coal, instead of a figure from the 70's?

thread_title:  Cost/W? 

message: I noticed that there was very little about the challenges of integrating distributed generation with the grid, and felt that there are almost enough issues to make that an entirely new page, so I fleshed out that section a bit. I would appreciate if somebody could add a picture of the duck curve on the article outside of the link (this is my first edit and I can't upload pictures yet). I briefly addressed the challenges and benefits of several distributed generation technologies. Ee137bmademe (talk) 03:54, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't we mention that people that produce small scall energy (for neighbourhoods, ...) are "locavolters" in the article ? See http://www.motherearthnews.com/renewable-energy/local-energy-issues.aspx and http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/008596.html

replies: text: Hi there, as I see, you already created a redirecting page for Locavolt. So yes, please go ahead. Note, the above link is from 2008, so maybe something more recent would be great. -- Cheers, Rfassbind -talk  20:14, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Microgrids links here - but are a fundamentally different concept than distributed generation. How do we break this page up? --Pacegri (talk) 19:32, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
