Presentationplan • Introduction; • Definitions of distributed generation; • General characteristics of SOLID-DER project; • The main objectives of the project; • Structure of the project; • Major barriers for DER integration.
Distributed Generation (DG) • Many definitions have been proposed to describe power that comes elsewhere than from traditional large power plants feeding electricity into the networks; • The integrated or stand alone small electricity generation sources; • Installed within the distribution system or at a customer’s side; • Intended to meet specific capacity or reliability needs; • Applications that benefit the power system, specific end-user or both.
Distributed Generation (by technologies) • High efficiency combined heat and power plants; • Small gas turbines; • Fuel cells; • Technologies supplying small scale power and using renewable energy sources (biomass, hydro, geothermal plants, photovoltaic, wind power plants, etc.).
Other definitions • Distributed Power, whichmeans DG plus energy storage devices; • Distributed Energy Resources, which means distributed power plus demand side measures; • Decentralised Power – a broader concept which indicates power generation sources available in specific location, for instance off shore wind parks of any size and connected to transmission or distribution grid.

General characteristics (1) 6 FP „A Coordinated Action towards the promotion and consolidation of all RTD activities for large-scale integration of DER in the electricity market“ 6 BP „Koordinavimo veikla, skirta skatinti ir stiprinti mokslinius tiriamuosius darbus, plačiai panaudojant paskirstytuosius energijos išteklius elektros rinkoje“
General characteristics (2) • Duration – November 2005-October 2008; • 17 research institutes and universities from 12 countries; • Main objective – unite RTD activities within the EU-25 aiming at large scale integration of DER into the European electricity market.

Key issues for DER integration • Increase the common wide understanding of DER solutions by enhancing transparency and awareness of benefits to all stakeholders of DER integration; • Explain and convince market players, technical & regulatory bodies and decision makers about benefits of DER solutions; • Establish and consolidate wide DER integration R&D community by including particularly new MS stakeholders.
Specific objectives of the project • Identification/monitoring and assessment of critical issues, developments, innovations and solutions; • Legislation, regulation, market access and policy support; • Benefits of new business models for DER integration; • Breakthroughs in DER, network control and enabling technologies; • Interconnections requirements, system solutions and interfaces, etc.
Dissemination of knowledge and experience • To overcome great diversity in opinions; • To bring stakeholders together and to enhance awareness of DER solutions; • To examine of knowledge transfer in new Member States; • To organize training/teaching of experts in the field of DER integration.

Major barriers • Lengthy and complicated administrative proceduresfor investors in DER power plants; • Dominant position of DSOs in negotiating network access and non-transparent connection procedures; • Unstable support mechanisms which causes difficulties for long-term planning of projects; • Lack of knowledge about advantages of DER.
