<p>A system (10) for the generation and distribution of energy to a region (100) includes a plurality of embedded generators (11). Each generator is operative to produce both electrical energy and thermal energy. The region (100) is formed of a plurality of sub-regions with the system including a plurality of first energy distribution systems (12) to distribute energy to a respective one of the sub-regions, and a second energy distribution system (16) which is operative to distribute energy to the first distribution systems. Electrical loads (50) and thermal loads (51) for each sub-region is monitored and transmitted to a local controller (17) associated with the respective generators (11). The local data is then transferred in real time to a global controller where it is used to control the generators in an efficient manner.</p> |
