| Description: |
The
project will develop a roadmap for distributed energy in Europe,
bringing together the various elements that comprise all the
technologies that make up distributed generation (DG) in order
to provide an understanding of the links between RES, CHP, distributed
electricity-only projects and changes in the operation of the
electricity network and the needs for network reinforcement.
Until now, although there is a Commission policy for cogeneration
and for renewable (which make up most of the DG technologies),
there is no coordinated approach towards DG technologies. The
project will help overcome this in order to help developing
a Commission policy on DG. This will help making the best use
of these technologies in the future.
Objectives:
- Draw
upon existing work, e.g. the RES White Book and the new SAVE
Project MICROMAP for data input.
- Create
a European DG strategy / policy overview and consider the
synergy between all distributed generation techniques.
- Undertake
a comparative analysis between Europe and US / Japan regarding
the application of DG
- Undertake
a market analysis of DG in Europe.
- Create
a consensus view by spreading information and creating a dialog
about distributed generation.
- Suggest
an action plan for the future.
4
Phases of the Project:
- Phase
1 deals with project set up and assessment of the issues to
be addressed and analysis of the existing knowledge base.
- Phase
2 deals with the development of a strategic plan and roadmap
for distributed energy in Europe.
- Phase
3 provides ample time and effort for consultation with stakeholders,
Commission officials and Member State administrations. It
also includes resources for the revision of the strategic
plan and roadmap.
- Phase
4 deals with the dissemination of the results of the project
and the development of an action plan for future activities.
