Overview: According to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), power outages and disturbances cost the US economy $188 billion per year. Oracle Corporation estimated that a reliable supply of power is worth millions of dollars per hour. In fact, a one-hour outage at First National Bank of Omaha cost that company $6 million. Distributed generators are small, decentralized power plants situated close to end users. The generators can supply electricity to a single location, or pump power directly into regional or national electricity grids. Distributed generation is the best answer to energy supply shortfalls because the traditional electricity grid will never be able to satisfy today's needs for quantity or quality of power.
