Q67.
Consider the following: 1. Battery storage 2. Biomass generators 3. Fuel cells 4. Rooftop solar photovoltaic units How many of the above are considered "Distributed Energy Resources"
Answer
D
Explanation
Distributed energy resources (DER) refers to often smaller generation units that are located on the consumer's side of the meter. Examples of distributed energy resources that can be installed include: roof top solar photovoltaic units. wind generating units. battery storage. Any small-scale device that can produce energy convertible into electricity qualifies as a DER, including the following: Rooftop solar panels Wind-powered generators Biomass generators Gas and diesel power generators Combined heat and power (CHP) systems Waste heat recovery systems Micro-hydropower schemes Hydrogen fuel cells EV and other power storage batteries Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
