Distributed Energy Systems Demonstrations Program | Department of Energy Distributed Energy Systems Demonstrations Program Distributed energy systems encompass not only distributed energy production but also the flexible management of sources and energy use by buildings, heat pumps, and other drivers of electric demand.
By scaling distributed energy systems, we can more effectively deliver and use reliable power for communities, reducing electric losses along transmission and distribution lines and increasing grid resiliency. As more sectors turn to electrification, the ability to manage a diverse set of grid assets will add much needed energy resilience in a time of increasing grid strain and disruptions.
The Distributed Energy Systems (DES) Demonstrations Program aims to help the United States develop more reliable, resilient, and cost-effective energy systems to better support our rapidly changing electric grid, the growth of energy storage, and the electrification of buildings and industry.
The program funds demonstrations that prove out the operations and the financial value of connected energy systems with high amounts of renewable generation, megawatts, and various assets like commercial and industrial facilities, smart buildings, and homes.
