Innovation and Disruption at the Grid’s Edge: How distributed energy resources are disrupting the utility business model / Fereidoon P. Sioshansi. Elsevier, May 2017, 460 p. - ISBN: 978-0-12-811758-3 - print 90.99 €https://www.elsevier.com/books/innovation-and-disruption-at-the-grid-s-edge/sioshansi/978-0-12-811758-3DescriptionInnovation and Disruption at the Grid’s Edge examines the viable developments in peer-to-peer transactions enabled by open platforms on the grid’s edge. With consumers and prosumers using more electronic platforms to trade surplus electricity from rooftop solar panels, share a storage battery, or use smart gadgets that manage load and self-generation, the grid's edge is becoming crowded. (© Elsevier)The book examines the growing number of consumers engaging in self-generation and storage, and analyzes the underlying causes and drivers of change, as well as the implications of how the utility sector—particularly the distribution network—should/could be regulated. The book also explores how tariffs are set and revenues are collected to cover both fixed and variable costs in a sustainable way. This reference is useful for anyone interested in the areas of energy generation and regulation, especially stakeholders engaged in the generation, transmission, and distribution of power.SommairePart I: Envisioning Alternative Futures Chapter 1 - Innovation and Disruption at the Grid’s Edge Chapter 2 - Innovation, Disruption, and the Survival of the Fittest Chapter 3 - The Great Rebalancing: Rattling the Electricity Value Chain from Behind the Meter Chapter 4 - Beyond Community Solar: Aggregating Local Distributed Resources for Resilience and Sustainability Chapter 5 - Grid Versus Distributed Solar: What Does Australia’s Experience Say About the Competitiveness of Distributed Energy?
