Place of Publication:
Golden, CO : National Renewable Energy Laboratory, May 2020.
Summary:
As pockets of the U.S. experience growing penetrations of distributed energy resources (DERs), the traditional practices underpinning distribution system regulation, operation, and management are evolving. The challenges and opportunities that DERs pose are driving stakeholders across the United States to reconsider regulatory goals, utility business models, ratemaking, and grid architectures. This report reviews the evolution of the U.S. distribution system from the advent of the utility-as-regulated-monopoly business model to the technological and regulatory shifts happening. The report concludes with a discussion of transactive energy systems and summarizes some of the leading RD&D happening in this field.
