Abstract

This two-part article deals with the latest results of a joint research effort by ERDF and EDF R&D to assess the cost of DG/RES integration and study new solutions that may help to reduce it. The companion paper (“Part 1”) analyses the connection costs of RES in France on 2012-2020 and 2012-2030 scenarios, as well as the global savings that could be made possible by some innovative RES integration solutions. This paper (“Part 2”) focuses on an innovative planning tool under development that allows searching the best option on a case-by-case basis.
