Description:	The IMPROGRES project analyses a number of DG energy scenarios up to 2020 / 2030 that are transferred into current network practices. With three case studies an assessment is made of how distribution system operators (DSOs) cope with these increased DG shares and what are the expected costs and benefits. These case studies are compared to enhanced network response alternatives. IMPROGRES will assess how technology and tool solutions can be implemented by new policy and regulatory responses, in the end leading to cost-minimisation of energy supply with increased DG share all over the EU.
