As part of NLR's Storage Futures Study, dGen modeled customer decisions about whether to adopt distributed storage paired with PV under different scenarios. dGen found battery costs and high value of backup power are the biggest drivers of distributed storage deployment. . These publications—including technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, and posters—either focus on or were heavily informed by the Distributed Generation Market Demand (dGen™) Model or its predecessor, the Solar Deployment System (SolarDS) Model. As part of NLR's Storage Futures. . Unlike traditional centralized systems, distributed storage offers flexibility, efficiency, and seamless integration with renewable energy—making it increasingly vital across urban, rural, and industrial settings. Distributed energy storage refers to deploying energy storage systems near end-users. .
