The objective of the project is to:
* assess the contributions that DG can bring in terms of:
– energy savings
– environmental protection
– economic benefits
– reliability of the electric service;
* highlight any critical issues concerning electrical system security, quality service and dispatching, so as to define proposals for interconnection rules;
* analyze in a simulated environment the evolution of control and protection systems of MV and LV networks in the face of the new DG scenario, with the aim of:
* providing electricity system operators and customers with proper elements to evaluate the potential of using DG considering both the opportunities and the critical issues associated with it ;
* pointing national and regional administrators to a more efficient, reliable and clean energy system thanks to the use of high-efficiency, low-emission, modular technologies with high flexibility in the choice of energy source (including renewables).
