Chapter Chapter 1 in Electricity Distribution Networks in the Decentralisation Era, 2022, pp 1-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The rise of renewable and distributed energy sources has resulted in a fundamental change in the way in which electricity is traditionally produced, distributed, and sold. Centralised power generation is increasingly giving way to a decentralised paradigm as new technologies continue to allow for different forms of electricity generation, storage, distribution, and trade. Electricity distribution networks are at the heart of this transformation which means that these networks will be highly affected by current trends. This chapter briefly reviews the evolution of power distribution and argues that the rise of decentralisation calls into question the traditional economic, regulation, and operation of distribution grids.
