Abstract :
Present changes in the operation of distribution grids call for a new way in which grid modifications are planned. This paper gives an overview of the changes on production and demand side as well as possible ways of planning the integration of distributed energy resources. Multiple objectives are often conflicting. An evolutionary algorithm is used to search for fit topologies of distributed resources and analyze the possible trade-offs
