The present Report focuses on the potential role of Distributed Generation (DG) in Europe. More specifically, this work aims to investigate the developments related to DG technologies and address the technical issues towards the DG integration into the European power systems. The concept of Distributed Generation is characterised for the purpose of the study and the main tehnical challenges are described. Some technical recommendations - at DG unit and at transmission and distribution system level - for further integration of DG are eventually proposed.

The electric power sector in Europe is currently facing different changes and evolutions mainly in response to the three European Union (EU) energy-related challenges – environmental demand. These issues may also represent drivers for the further penetration of Distributed Power Generation (hereinafter simply Distributed Generation, or DG) technologies in Europe. In fact, several EU countries are already recording a gradual and steady upward trend in deploying distributed power sources.
