Project Summary: IGREENGrid project focuses on identifying the most promising solutions for increasing the hosting capacity for Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRES) in power distribution grids without compromising the reliability or jeopardizing the quality of supply.
The main final result will be a set of guidelines: Most promising solutions. Recommendations for the integration of DRES in distribution grids,
Methodologies and tools. Criteria to establish hosting capacity and to manage curtailment
procedures. Technical requirements to DRES, equipment manufacturers &
technology providers. Assessment of the scalability and replicability at EU level (from
technical, regulatory and economic point of view).

Continuous coordination and knowledge sharing:
Strong coordination with EEGI and the supporting GRID+ project will be established during the Project to receive appropriate feedback and to maximize the project impact.
IGREENGrid encourages sharing knowledge and promoting the best practices identifying potential solutions for the effective integration of DRES in the six existing Demo Projects in LV and MV grids participating to the project and validating them via simulation in other environments to assess the scalability and replicability at EU level.

Project results: Conclusion on the use of KPIs
The use of simulations has allowed the evaluation of Smart Grid solutions performance on demonstrators
• simulation of several scenarios in order to extract more information about the performance (sensitivities, high/low penetration of DG, etc…)
The evaluation of multiple KPIs (in addition to HC increase) allows the extraction of relevant information
• effectiveness in case of voltage congestion • impact of the solutions on different aspects of the
network operation
“This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 308864”. 19
Project results: …however…
The assumed hypotheses for an harmonized KPI calculation procedure are not accurate representations of the real operation practices for all the demonstrators
• voltage limits / maximum loading of lines • safety reserves for robust network management
Resulting KPIs are strongly dependent on the network nature (rural/urban/etc.) and it is not possible to perform comparison of solutions on the basis of their results
• demonstrators networks have different characteristics • KPIs should be investigated on clustered networks

• Being qualitative, the SRA is focused on identifying trends, not on selecting a single “most promising” solution from the S&R point of view.
• All implementations can be
considered as valid alternatives depending on network status, regulatory conditions, DSO’s approach...
• Detailed studies are required to choose the best solution: - Technical studies (i.e. based on simulations) on the specific
network - Economic studies (i.e. CBA)
