Distributed and Cogeneration (DCG) Technology still Gaining Momentum with Vigorous Growth to be Expected through 2011.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c36157) has announced the addition of Distributed & Cogeneration Volume II - Power Electronics, Worldwide Forecasts, Applications, and Competitive Environment to their offering.

This second edition, 184-page report provides a detailed and in-depth examination of the trends driving the power electronics market in a variety of distributed and cogeneration technologies. Given the rebound in the global economy and the increasing demand for reliable electric power, the projected growth in the DCG power electronics market through 2011 should be more vigorous and consistent than over the past several years.

Distributed and Cogeneration (DCG) technology, including gas turbines, gensets, microturbines, wind turbines, variable speed generators, photovoltaics and fuel cells, has been gaining momentum for quite some time now. The combination of continued growth, the reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, new and innovative technologies and the need for reliable power should provide the ideal environment for growth of power electronics in the distributed and cogeneration industry. Over the next several years and into the next decade, the importance of power electronics in the DCG industry is expected to grow tremendously and be the primary facilitator of future DCG applications.
