  abstract = {<div>This short report defines compensation mechanisms for grid-connected, behind-the-meter distributed generation (DG) systems as instruments that comprise three core elements: (1) metering &amp; billing arrangements, (2) sell rate design, and (3) retail rate design. This report describes metering &amp; billing arrangements, with some limited discussion of sell rate design.
