3. incentivesincentives for Smart Grid projects are rather limited

Regulator installed a policy platform policy platform to prepare an action plan for the implementation of smart grids

4. Federal clearing house ATRIASATRIAS will be installed in 2015

5. INFRAX is a regulated and therefore an independent independent party



33. . Role of DSO in an open electricity marketRole of DSO in an open electricity market

1. FacilitatorFacilitator of an open electricity market

2. Buyer of flexibility Buyer of flexibility to defer grid inforcement and enhance hosting capacity of renewables

3.3. MultipleMultiple meter hardware and communication layers should be avoided decreases costs

4. Control signals may not work against each other

5. Avoiding of fragmentationfragmentation of responsabilities increases efficiency.

6. DSO = grid manager & data manager grid manager & data manager / independable partner

5. 5. Experience of pilots and projectsExperience of pilots and projects

SMART METER PROJECT (proof of concept phaseSMART METER PROJECT (proof of concept phase)

. 400 smart meters are in place

. Communication medium = cable network

offers good results and is applicable for smart grids

. problems: lack of standards,

lack of products available on the market

cost/benefits

. roll out in phases / first clients who can activaly participate to the concept of smart grids.

META PVMETA PVGoal:

1. Increase the hosting capacity of DER with 50% with the same

costs as 10% of the costs of regularly needed grid reinforcement.

2. Development of new grid planning tools

How:Smart invertors that can control active and reactive power to keep the voltage profiles within the permitted boundaries


Partners: 3E(B), LRM (B), INFRAX (B), SMA (D), UoL (University of Ljubljana (Slovenië)), AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology)

Demosite: Lommel / Opglabbeek : 130 households with 4 kW PV installations – 30 industrial installations of 200 kW :

Status: demosite operational end 2011 Website: www.metapv.eu
