Most electricity in the United States is generated today
Chapter 8, Problem 8.9D(choose chapter or problem)
Most electricity in the United States is generated today by large centralized power plants and distributed to end users via long-distance transmission lines. Some experts expect a gradual shift to a distributed (decentralized) power system where electricity is generated locally by smaller-scale plants primarily using locally available resources, including wind, solar, biomass, hydropower, and geothermal. Other experts agree on the distributed, smaller-scale approach but contend that the model for the future is the tightly integrated industrial ecosystem, already seen in Denmark. Critically evaluate these two visions technically and economically, together with hybrids obtained by combining them, each relative to the current centralized approach. Rank order all approaches considered, in descending order from the most likely to least likely future scenario. Write a report, including at least three references.
