Impact assessment of the connection of gas based micro-cogeneration in electric distribution networks

July 2014 - February 2016

Funding entity Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI)

Participated by Massachussets Institute of Technology

The aim of this project, developed in collaboration with MITEI, is to evaluate the impact of an increased penetration of natural gas-fueled distributed generation in the electrical distribution network. The results of this analysis will identify possible operation (technical) and planning (economical) barriers in the electrical distribution network to integrate a high level of distributed generation.
