Abstract :
While distributed generation may in and of itself become a dominant force in the provision of energy in years to come, it is its capability to be used in numerous locations throughout the grid that potentially gives it its greatest value. Other attributes of specific grid locations (such as volatilities and price spikes) are examined from the perspective of the influence that it might have on the siting of a distributed generator
