Providing reliable and secure electric power to meet the growing demands of this century, in a way which mitigates the adverse effects of climate change, is a daunting challenge. The situation has given rise to increased interest in the potential for Distributed Power Systems (DPS): a combination of distributed sources of power production and distributed power storage. This study examines the economic, environmental, and energy security case for DPS. Overview of Distributed Power Systems -- Economic and environmental cost-benefit analysis of DPS -- Security-related benefits of DPS -- Current DPS policy landscape -- Policy research findings -- Conclusions and recommendations. edited by Jeremy Carl ; foreword by George P. Shultz and Strobe Talbott. This report was co-written by authors from the Hoover Institution Schultz-Stephenson Task Force on Energy Policy and the Brookings Institution Energy Security Initiative.
