System drivers are obtaining extra flexible
Distribution system operators have their job suitable them, as they are entrusted with the ever-increasing difficulty of managing their networks at times of raising EV penetration, the electrification of heat, and distributed behind-the-meter generation and storage. As transmission system driver markets have actually opened to demand-side versatility across Europe and also past, we currently see a trend of DSOs at the really beginning of a similar change, creates Philippa Hardy, principal expert at Delta-EE. DSOs are currently starting to contact behind-the-meter possessions to support regional network management and also balancing. This gives price savings for DSOs, while using opportunities for DSF providers and possession proprietors.
