The objective of this programme is to spread knowledge on renewable energy technologies and to facilitate the development of small and medium size initiatives in partnership with other actors.

Distributed Generation (DG) has an essential role to play in reducing emissions and improving security of supply because it can use relatively small, localised, sources of fuel (often renewable) to generate electricity, with or without heat. How much DG can be tolerated on each voltage level of a network and concerns about stability and intermittency are among the issues discussed in this stream.

This blog aims to guide you through this labyrinth of electrical standardization and and offers commentary on their practical application. It reports on new or upcoming standards, interprets existing standards and highlights some conflicting standards or gaps in the regulation.
