• 5. Renewable  Energy  is  Widespread   Energy  Self-­‐Reliant  States  
• 6. Renewable  Energy  is  Cost-­‐Effec7ve  
• 7. What  is  distributed  genera7on?  
• 8. What  is  distributed  genera7on?   Distribu7on     Any  Size   or  Subtransmission   <  80  MW   Transmission  
• 9. Myth  1  •  Distributed  genera7on  does  not  capture   economies  of  scale

Solving  Solar  Variability  They  are  seeing  very  li<le  difference  in  the  voltage  levels,  harmonics,  and  overall  power  quality  between  the  different  scenarios.  These  preliminary  results  suggest  that  u)li)es  could  go  to  very  high  levels  of  PV  penetra3on  in  localized  areas  without  causing  problems  for  the  grid.   High  Penetra)on  of  PV  No  Issue  for  Kauian  Grid  |  Energy  Self-­‐Reliant  States  -­‐  h<p://)nyurl.com/6a3nnwb
