The functioning of distributed energy sources in the aspects of using cogeneration technology

The article is a sum of compound experiences. It describes the behaviour of renewable energy sources that can work with combined heat and power technology in a conventional energy system. It presents views on organisational issues of distributed energy, with consideration of future system limitations from the perspective of the energy system’s functioning. There are opinions here on the conditions of renewable energy sources and distributed generation in a new idea of power industry. Particular attention is paid to issues related to the impact of distributed generation and renewable energy sources on the functioning of a centralised energy system.
