| CS-1 | 2005 | Renewable Distributed Generation Assessment: Sacramento Municipal Utility District Case Study | California Energy Commission | This case study discusses the research done to develop a methodology for evaluating the potential renewable distributed generation applications within the municipal utility planning process. Project objectives:
(1) Identify the best locations for distributed renewable generation in a local Utility Distribution Company system,
(2) Include reliability impacts in the analysis, and
(3) Assess the impact of load growth and generator performance uncertainty on the results.
