Abstract :
As a result of the implementation of the Green Electricity Act-2012 with its improved conditions for renewable energy generators, there is currently a massive increase in the requests for grid access to all distribution system operators in Austria. This "boom" has und will have an enormous effect at all voltage levels on the distribution grids. This paper will focus on the influence of the recently new wind park projects development and the regulatory framework regarding the connection of RES installation in Austria.
