The Prospects of Distributed Generation in Russia

Abstract

According to the trends influence, electricity consumption and the load on the energy system are constantly increasing, and requirements for power quality, reliability and its infrastructure are being raised. The introduction of renewable energy sources, digital financial technologies and hence distributed generation leads to the power industry transformation. That is essential in order to meet these abovementioned requirements. Distributed energy is a modern trend and the key to ensuring stable technological progress in the Russian Federation. The authors of the paper considered three scenarios for the development of distributed generation in Russia. The implementation of renewable energy sources in Russia is illustrated in the example of power supplying of remote residential customers with the wind-diesel power station. On the basis of the study, there are proposed tools to support and stimulate the distributed generation development and recommendations for the legal regulation of the fuel and energy complex for Russia.
