The project aims to work with all the relevant stakeholders especially representatives of wind generation developers. The study will use results from detailed network and market models of the European transmission system for scenarios representing immediate and longer-term needs. The recommendations will be aimed at developing. where possible and appropriate. common European solutions to wind integration challenges.

The project brings together eight European energy utilities and aims at removing most of the technical and non-technical barriers that prevent a massive deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) in Europe. In partnership with manufacturers. research organisations. professionals. national agencies and a bank. they implemented a demand-pull rather than technology-push approach. This new approach provided three tentative 'fast-tracks options' to speed up the large-scale implementation of DER in Europe.

Dispower has developed new methodologies. components and tools for planning. operational control. training. forecast and trading for the reliable and costeffective integration of distributed generation and renewable energies.
