Welcome by
the Conference Chairmen
Jürgen Schmid and Etienne Gehain
The fast growth of
decentralized generation, liberalized markets, the use of
modern power electronics and the introduction of advanced
IC-technologies will lead to a dramatic change in the
management and operation of the electricity grids
worldwide. Stochastic energy sources like wind may
decrease the grids stability or may improve it, depending
on the quality of forecast and on interconnection rules.
As a further element, the ability of loads to react on
current production and demand conditions may offer a big
potential for grid stabilization and even be able to
prevent blackouts in future, provided that they are
appropriately located and equipped with means of
communication and proper management equipments. Primary
and secondary control and power quality improvement might
be offered as a service by individual and decentralized
producers as long as they are equipped with information
transfer interfaces, which may be available for small
scale cogeneration plants such as micro-turbines or
fuel-cells in future. Finally, much depends on the
regulatory framework, which can make or break the
viability of decentralized generation ventures.
It is the aim of this conference to establish a dialogue
between professionals in the utility sector, in science,
industry and in the sector of policy makers.
Based on the initiative of the European Commission,
DG-Research and thanks to the active support by the US
Department of Energy, the Canadian CANMET Energy
Technology Centre-Ottawa and the Japanese Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), this conference will
become the first of its kind in which the aspects
mentioned above can be discussed on a global scale. Most
emphasis will be laid on the presentation of results
which may help others to perform the transition. They may
lead to new concepts and to the preparation of new
standards.
We hope that this conference will become very productive
in the sense of new results, but also in the sense that
the global network of actors in the field may be further
expanded and that this event may be followed by a series
of future conferences around the globe.
We would like to invite you therefore to participate in
this fascinating and challenging subject and we would be
glad to welcome you in December in Brussels.

Reliability
of Supply and Quality of Service
Chair: Nikos Hatziargyriou, NTUA, Greece and Stefano
Puppin, EC DG-RTD
The constant increase of electric power demand, together
with the international shift towards competitive
electricity markets and the difficulties in building new
transmission and central generation facilities due to
environmental constraints force modern power systems to
operate closer to their stability limits. At the same
time, pressing needs for higher security, reliability and
power quality impose demanding requirements for power
system planning, operation and control. The objective of
this panel is to investigate the role of Renewable and
Distributed Energy Resources can play in increasing the
Reliability of Supply and Power Quality. In particular,
the following topics will be debated and, if possible
quantified:
• Can DER provide security of supply?
• Can DER displace conventional generation? Is it
possible to rely on Renewable Energy Sources, e.g. wind?
• Can DER contribute to network security? (Blackouts
occur due to faults on the Transmission System)
• Can DER provide system support (ancillary
services)? Can they provide support in frequency, flow
and voltage control?
• Are DER reliable?
• How do DER affect power quality? Can they improve
it?

The session will give an overview on the most important
testing laboratories for equipment and systems in the
field of distributed power generation. International
standards are under preparation for distributed
generators in order to harmonise testing procedures and
safety issues as well as communication and power
interfaces. Besides presentations about laboratories and
standardisation an analysis of power electronic
interfaces and a review about relevant grid codes will be
given.

Energy
Markets and the Policy and Regulatory Framework
Chair: Frits van Oostvoorn, ECN, The Netherlands
Energy markets of today are becoming more competitive and
will create market opportunities for RES and DER
technologies. On the other hand, the profitability of RES
and DER still relies on support from policy instruments
and the effective integration of RES and DER into the
electricity networks dependants on network regulation.
The market structure and the policy and regulatory
framework are crucial factors for developing electricity
supply systems that fulfil the long-term policy
objectives (sustainable, reliable, economic efficient).
This session will discuss the role and influence that
energy and competition policy and regulation have on the
utility business in relation to the integration of RES
and DER in future electricity markets.
