2 Introduction: What Has to Change? Driving forces for the future development of the electric power systems: 1) Environmental issues: meet Kyoto protocol targets (reduce emissions by replacing fossil generation by zero emission generation, reduce network losses), increase social responsibility and sustainability, minimize visual impacts and land use. 2) Replacement of old infrastructures (generation and grid) 3) Security of Supply 4) Increase quality of service (more automation and remote control) 5) Electricity market liberalization (energy and services) 1) Increase renewable generation,, exploit clean coal technologies, CCGT and others 2) Increase Distributed Generation 3) Demand Side Management (increase load consumption efficiency) 2008 Large Scale Integration of Renewable Power Sources and Microgeneration / Microgrids 2
