Distributed Generation Challenges: Air quality, Siting, Permitting

摘要

There are several environmental, engineering, and social issues that affect successful siting of distributed generation. Distributed gen- eration (DG) sources (sources (20 MW) include technologies such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, reciprocating internal combustion engines, small-and micro-turbines, and wind power, Addressing issues prior to equipment operations can include obtaining siting, construction, and operating approvals from multiple regulatory and governmental agen- cies, as well as possibly undergoing public review and scrutiny.
