The birth of a EUropean Distributed EnErgy Partnership
that will help the large-scale implementation of distributed energy resources in Europe

A European Project supported within the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development
Context
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are already used in Europe (for instance
wind turbines or CHP in industry). DER comply with the European Directives
requiring to act on the demand side, improving efficiency, ensuring security of
supply of clean energy and completing the development of new sustainable
energy generation and transformation technologies, such as renewable
energies and fuel cells. However, there is a trade-off point between the benefits
of DER and the adverse grid effects at distribution and even transmission
levels that penalise today the wide penetration of DER in Europe.

As the diagram above shows, EU-DEEP wants to start from the present situation in Europe, and to provide solutions to dramatically change
the DER penetration in Europe to a new trade-off point, where benefits and drawbacks of DER have changed to a point favouring more DER
contribution.

EU-DEEP initiative
A group of eight leading European energy utilities have joined forces to
remove, in five years from January 2004, most of the technical and non-
technical barriers which prevent a massive deployment of distributed energy
resources (DER) in Europe.

In partnership with manufacturers, research organisations, professionals,


national agencies and a bank, they follow a demand-pull rather than
technology-push approach.

This new approach will provide five “fast-tracks options” to speed up


the large-scale implementation of DER in Europe, by defining five market
segments which will benefit from DER solutions, and fostering the R&D
required to adapt DER technologies to the demands of these segments.

To achieve these objectives, a set of iterative R&D tasks (Work packages) by


utilities, research laboratories, manufacturers of generator sets, storage and
grid connection equipment, and investment bodies to qualify the prospects
of the newly defined market segments.
