Contributor Domingo, C.M. (mentor) Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Multi Actor Systems Programme Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programme in Economics and Management of Network Industries (EMIN): Engineering in Policy Analysis (TPM, TU Delft, Netherlands) Date 2012-08-21 Abstract The contribution of Distributed generation (DG) to Electric Power Systems is evident, as it contributes to all major drivers of System´s sustainability (open market, security of supply and environment) propagated by EU directives. However, it is still not clear what impacts DG has on the Distribution System Operator´s (DSO) operations, which is in charge of providing a safe environment and technical conditions for their consumers and to DG as a newcomer in the system. This thesis addresses the issues related to Technical and Economic impacts of DG on remuneration of DSO. Using a Reference Network Model (RNM), an impact assessment is performed by analyzing changes in the grid´s operation through grid reinforcement costs, energy losses, and quality of service indices, under different scenarios of DG penetration in the Distribution network. Based on the obtained results recommendations have been made for alteration of DSO´s remuneration scheme for the case of a DSO in Spanish regulatory framework.
