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 UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1614/2015510862-b.html UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1614/2015510862-d.html ER -
