4. New environment for power systems design and operation
European targets and attractive feed-in tariffs
 Increased deployment of small / medium renewable generation connected to the distribution networks
Actual power systems were not designed and operated to integrate a large share of intermittent and distributed generation
Requirements for new technical solutions for system security and for integration costs minimisation
Renewable DG to contribute to system security

5. Technical impacts of distributed renewable generation
DSOs anticipate that they can integrate only a limited capacity of DG without a major reinforcement
Limiting factors in many European distribution networks: voltage rise effect
5 - Eric Lambert EDF R&D IEEE 2010 PES General Meeting Minneapolis - 00 Mois 2009

6. Technical solutions to enable DG integration
Observability for both TSO and DSO
Which interactions between actors
for the controlability?
6 - Eric Lambert EDF R&D IEEE 2010 PES General Meeting Minneapolis - 00 Mois 2009

7. What are the solutions?
Approach with existing practise (“fit and forget”)
No control over DER / Worst case scenarios used for connection sizing
Active distribution network: Coordinated control of voltage and flows (VVC: Volt VAr Control function) to:
Maintain voltage within limits and Optimise other parameters (Reactive power transit between DSO and TSO / Distribution network losses / ….)
Increase DG hosting capacity
