The document discusses Encare Earth Solutions' vision for distributed energy infrastructure to deliver reliable and affordable energy. It proposes using localized energy generation and storage systems along with smart grids to closely match energy supply and demand. This would improve efficiency, reliability, cost-effectiveness and sustainability over the conventional centralized model. The distributed approach leverages new technologies and places more control in the hands of consumers.

8. Distributed Energy Infrastructure
 To create platform systems where multiple distributed
energy technologies combine to help optimise energy
acquisition, energy conversion, energy storage & energy
delivery in a reliable, efficient & affordable manner.
 Convert the energy from the energy source into desired
form (like electricity) in as close proximity as possible to
the demand.
 Makes most sense to harness resources (especially
renewable) in a distributed energy infrastructure rather
than a centralised infrastructure.

10. Why Focus on Distributed Energy Infrastructure?
 Leverage the benefits of distributed energy
• Local energy sourcing (avoid grid losses)
• On-demand supply
• High system efficiency (with heat recovery)
• Reliability with 24x7 energy availability
 Good temporal match between energy demand
and energy supply
 Leverage developments in technology &
automation to optimize energy delivery
 Under complete control of the consumer
 Favourable economics of energy delivery

18.  Envisioned future electricity delivery system
Benefits of new system?
 Flexibility to adapt efficiently to demand changes
 Intelligent system which closely matches supply to
demand drastically reducing resource wastages
 Local availability leads to more energy security
 Higher reliability for energy on-demand
 High total system efficiency (can go upto 90%)
 HT Transmission grid vulnerabilities eliminated
 Shifts control to the consumer -> happy consumer

19.  Envisioned future electricity delivery system
Why was this not done earlier?
 Appropriate energy technologies were not available
 Lack of ground experience (still accumulating)
 Lack of availability of required information &
communication technologies
 Cost of conventional power was too low with
negligible increase in costs with time.
