3 Wind Histogramm of the nominal power of Onshore Wind Power Plants installed in Germany in 2010: Fact Sheet: Stand-alone-devices: Are usually connected to MV or HV Parks: Small parks are usually connected to MV or HV, while large parks are connected to HV or the transmission system Off- shore On- shore Fact Sheet: Offshore parks are usually connected to the transmission system Submarine Cable (AC or DC) is necessary between offshore park (P park usually more than 100 MW) and connection point

4 Types of Distributed Generation Ulf Häger | San José, September 4th 2012 Photovoltaik Histogramm of the nominal power of Photovoltaik plants installed in Germany in 2010: Fact Sheet: PV plants with nominal power < ~300 kW are connected to LV PV plants with nominal power between ~300 kW and ~15 MW are connected to MV PV plants with nominal power > ~15 MW are connected to HV

5 Types of Distributed Generation Ulf Häger | San José, September 4th 2012 Hydro Fact Sheet: Often large power plants connected to the transmission system Also smaller distributed generators available which are connected to LV, MV or HV Pump- storage Marine River Fact Sheet: Often large power plants connected to the transmission system Also smaller distributed generators available, usually connected to HV Fact Sheet: Different types: Tidal power Marine current power Wave power … All are still prototypes

6 Types of Distributed Generation Ulf Häger | San José, September 4th 2012 Biomass Histogramm of the nominal power of Photovoltaik plants installed in Germany in 2010: Fact Sheet: Fuel types: Firewood, Pellets, Bio oil, Bio gas, Bio ethanol Can also provide thermal power (CHP) Can be used as base load

7 Types of Distributed Generation Ulf Häger | San José, September 4th 2012 Geothermal Fact Sheet: Exploitation of high water temperatures under ground (>100°C) Nominal power usually up to 10 MW Can be used to provide thermal power (CHP) CHP Fact Sheet: Typical devices: Stirling motor Microgasturbine Piston engine BHKW
