Decentralized Energy Distribution
Post:
As a group (1 post, please) compose a short post to. ddress the following:
o
What is your group's chosen topic?
Decentralized energy distribution o
What do you know about the topic so far?
Decentralized energy distribution is when there is not one large power plant supplying energy to a region. Rather, it is
more locally produced, usually in smaller, independent grids. There is potential to save power from transferring.
Due to microeconomics, power sources are one of the few natural monopolies. This makes decentralized power systems difficult to make competitive.
Some people think it is the future of energy distribution and some disagree.
Having a centralized power plant to generate electricity requires a large battery, decentralizing energy distribution may help rid of these large batteries and help solve renewable energy battery size problems.
The maintenance of individual power generating devices can be difficult.
Paying for car batteries and storage. (
The upfront investment for
renewable energy technologies can be significant and can become barrier
for individuals to even start Decentralizing Energy Distribution)
Different regions have distinct characteristics, so we do need to consider the feasibility based off whether the region has the right climate.
o
What main research questions, specific to your topic, do you want to answer?
What are the advantages, and challenges to a D.E.D. network?
What is the current progress of decentralizing energy distribution?
How can it be made cheaper than centralized energy?
What role can nuclear energy play?
Should it be supplementary rather than primary?
o
What is your project's thesis statement?
While decentralized energy distribution may not be able to fully replace a centralized energy distribution center, it could significantly decrease a populations dependence on centralized energy production, by offsetting renewable energies dependence on energy storage innovation.

In Class, 15–20 Minutes for Teams An efficient logistics system can enable companies to ensure that their products are delivered to the right wholesalers and retailers at the right time, ensuring better supply to the end consumer.

Think about different supermarket chains that you have visited. Are there some chains that usually have all their products in stock and other chains (or smaller stores) that frequently experience stock-out situations? In addition, think about the different pricing practices of the supermarkets. Are there any supermarkets that sell brands that are similar to others but at a much lower price? If so, how do you think they’re able to do this? Do you think that their logistics system plays an important role? now let’s consider the potential impact frequent stock-out situations…
