  7. Back to the Future: Edison’s Vision of Locating Power at or Near its Point of Use Becomes Relevant “As early as 1901, Thomas Edison himself was devising ways to leverage distributed generation (DG) technologies in his home. Although in the end his plan was unsuccessful, a century later some distributed generation technologies have become not only cost effective options, but also offer an opportunity to increase system reliability by relocating load from the central station to the end-use location; and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.” Source: Consolidated Edison 2010 Long Range Electric System Plan

  8. Back to the Future: Non-Synchronous AC-to-DC-AC Solutions are Being Perfected as Affordable Alternatives to More Complex Synchronization of DG with the Utility Grid
