26 September 2006, Sofia, Bulgaria 1 Scope and Objectives: The main goal of the network of excellence DER-LAB is to support the sustainable integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and distributed generation (DG) in the electricity supply by describing common requirements, development quality criteria and supporting international pre-standardisation activities. The network will propose test and certification procedures concerning connection, safety, operation and communication of DG components and systems. The network propose the new project for integration DER into the grid- DERrig. Contract SES6-CT NoE DER-LAB – Network of Excellence for Distributed Energy Resources and Pre-Standardisation
