Journal Article
Distributive Energy
2003
Overview
Given its resource base and rural demographics, Montana is well positioned to apply distributive generation technologies utilizing existing sources of energy. Distributed generation (DG) involves modular, self-contained electric generation located near the point of use. DG systems can be operated as independent, stand-alone sources of power, or can be used in conjunction with established grid power. Distributive energy generation encompasses a broad range of technologies that are capable of producing energy on a small scale and without the extensive infrastructure typical of conventional energy distribution systems. An important attribute of distributed energy is that it can complement the existing generation and distribution system. In the next 5 years, 2 emerging distributive energy technologies are worth watching. One has significant, immediate potential in Montana, while the other will likely take longer to become feasible. The former is the Stirling Cycle engine; the latter is fuel cells.
