The worldwide market for power generation is undergoing a tremendous transformation due to restructuring of the electric power sector in many countries. This is resulting in intense competition, as well as price increases and capacity shortages. At the same time new, cost-effective distributed generation/Combined Heat and Power technologies are increasingly becoming commercialized. Finally, near-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are coming and CHP promises to be a key measure for fighting climate change. Current trends, both in the U.S. and international markets, favor distributed generation/CHP technologies for some key applications.
RDC has provided consulting advice on small-scale power generation for more than two decades. Clients include project developers, equipment manufacturers, utilities, end-users, trade associations and financial institutions. Our work began in the early 1980s with cogeneration feasibility studies and market assessments. In the 1990s, we helped several U.S. companies assess and act on distributed generation/CHP business opportunities. Projects typically quantify the market for distributed generation/CHP technologies as well as develop effective business strategies.
During 2000-2008 we have significantly contributed to development of the IEEE 1547 interconnection standard, the application guide to IEEE 1547 and to several statewide interconnection standards.

Recent accomplishments include:
• Developed a report for EPRI that benchmarked greenhouse gas emissions and cost-to-generate for distributed generation and compared these costs with those of conventional solutions.
• Helped develop distributed generation interconnection standards and rules, such as the District of Columbia Small Generator Interconnection Rule and some documents in the IEEE 1547 series.
