微型发电在能源供应、碳减排、能源安全甚至燃料贫困方面的潜在作用在过去几年一直是人们广泛关注的话题。行业和政府的重点一直放在旨在最大限度地利用金融工具和其他政策上。然而，最近关于太阳能热水和热泵的一些研究表明，并非所有微型发电装置都能实现预期的能源或排放节省，而消费者反过来也没有获得预期的经济利益。其原因包括技术问题和安装不良、体制问题、向用户提供的信息不畅以及使用不当等。这些问题可能会延迟或危及热泵等微型发电机的推出计划。本文探讨了哪些政策有助于最大限度地发挥上述微型发电的效益，包括对可再生热能激励措施的影响，以及衡量家庭实际节能的重要性。鉴于问题的复杂性，我们采用更广泛的系统视角来分析节能差异的制度、文化和行为原因。
The potential role of microgeneration in energy supply, carbon emissions reduction, energy security and even fuel poverty has been a topic of much interest in the past few years. Industry and government focus has been on financial tools and other policies aimed at maximising uptake. However, some recent studies on solar hot water and heat pumps suggest that not all microgeneration installations are delivering the expected energy or emissions savings, and consumers are in turn not reaping the expected financial benefits. The reasons are a mixture of technical problems and poor installations, institutional issues, poor information supply to users, and improper use. Such issues could delay or jeopardise plans for rolling out microgenerators such as heat pumps. This article considers what policies would help maximise the above-listed benefits of microgeneration, including the implications for the Renewable Heat Incentive, and the importance of measuring actual energy savings in homes. Given the mixed nature of the issues, a broader systemic view is used to analyse the institutional, cultural and behavioural reasons for the discrepancies in energy savings.
