Innovation and Disruption at the Grid's Edge examines the viable developments in peer-to-peer transactions enabled by open platforms on the grid's edge. With consumers and prosumers using more electronic platforms to trade surplus electricity from rooftop solar panels, share a storage battery, or use smart gadgets that manage load and self-generation, the grid's edge is becoming crowded.

The book examines the growing number of consumers engaging in self-generation and storage, and analyzes the underlying causes and drivers of change, as well as the implications of how the utility sector-particularly the distribution network-should/could be regulated. The book also explores how tariffs are set and revenues are collected to cover both fixed and variable costs in a sustainable way. This reference is useful for anyone interested in the areas of energy generation and regulation, especially stakeholders engaged in the generation, transmission, and distribution of power.

Examines the new players that will disrupt the energy grid markets
Offers unique coverage of an emerging and unpublished topic
Helps the reader understand up-to-date energy regulations and pricing innovations

Industry Reviews

"Sioshansi's introduction explains the new focus on distributed energy resources (DERs), and the book is split between three sections: the economics of DERs versus traditional bundled service at regulated tariffs; bifurcation of customers between those who can access their own energy and those who cannot; and the rise of aggregators, integrators and intermediaries. Not a review so much as a description of the book as an advertisement for an event based on the topic of the book - the review is positive, but there is no clear opinion or judgement." --Energy Spectrum "There are books that try everything possible to challenge their readers' brains processing capabilities; if there is someone competent enough to make these types of exploration books timely and relevant. There comes Fereidoon, a born 'Christopher Columbus', exploring the frontiers of knowledge and practice in the utility industry; and this 4th book edited since 2013." --Economics of Energy and Environmental Policy (EEEP) "There are books that try everything possible to challenge their readers' brains processing capabilities. There comes Fereidoon, a born 'Christopher Columbus', exploring the frontiers of knowledge and practice in the utility industry. It focuses entirely on the "grid's edge?, the unique and unprecedented transformations occurring in the Western world, behind the devices connecting the consumers to the grid. Incredibly rich." --Jean-Michel Glachant, Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy Vol. 7: 1, 2018, IAEE
