Wind turbines used as a distributed energy resource—known as distributed wind—are connected at the distribution level of an electricity delivery system (or in off-grid applications) to serve on-site energy demand or support operation of local electricity distribution networks.. Distributed wind installations can range from a less-than-1-kilowatt off-grid wind turbine powering
The Distributed Energy Systems (DES) Demonstrations Program aims to help the U.S. develop more reliable, resilient, and cost-effective energy systems to better support our rapidly changing electric grid and the growth of electric vehicles (EV), energy storage, and the electrification of buildings and industry.
