Abstract :
Distributed energy resources (DER) are quickly making their way to industry primarily as backup generation. They are effective at starting and then producing full-load power within a few seconds. DER can alleviate the burden on the utility grid by providing ancillary services, which also helps in justifying the installation cost for the DER owner. This paper describes ten types of these ancillary services, which DG can provide to the utility grid. Of these 10 services, the feasibility, control strategy, effectiveness, and cost benefits are all analyzed for the future utility power market
