WPH Impact on the Development of Electricity Infrastructures (expansion Planning)

Objectives
The overall aim of this WP is to quantify the impact of a wide spread deployment of Microgrids on the future replacement and investment strategies of the EU transmission and distribution infrastructures. Specific objectives of this task are:

• Develop representative models of transmission and distribution networks and evaluation tools to quantify the ability of Microgrids to displace transmission and distribution network assets
• Develop Microgrids evolution roadmap including electricity infrastructure replacement scenarios
• Quantify overall benefits of Microgrids in typical EU electricity systems
• Develop overall business models for Microgrids.

Description of work :
TH1. Modelling of Microgrid evolution and replacement profiles of EU network infrastructure
TH2. Quantifying the impact of Microgrids on investment and replacement strategies future EU electricity infrastructure
TH3. Business case for Microgrids

Deliverables
DH1. Microgrid evolution roadmap including transmission and distribution grid infrastructure replacement scenarios in EU
DH2. Report on economic, technical and environmental benefits of Microgrids in typical EU electricity systems
DH4. Business case for Microgrids
