Distributed Generation
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. |

Smart metering is a topic that recently has attracted much attention. Smart metering promises many benefits and projects in Europe, the USA and other countries show that smart metering is technically feasible. Main issues are the actual value of the benefits, the cost involved and the distribution of cost and benefits of smart metering between market parties involved. An advanced metering infrastructure offers the possibility for additional energy related services such as demand side management and realisation of virtual power plants. The future of smart metering will depend heavily on the policy and decisiveness of the governmental bodies involved. Energy savings and an increased security of supply will be main drivers and believe in smart metering as a means to reach these goals is indispensable.
