FINE - Flexible Integration of Local Energy Communities into the Norwegian Electricity Distribution System

The ongoing energy transition brings new opportunities for utilisation of distributed energy resources (DER) and for the evolution in the role of end-users from passive consumers to active customers, who both produce and consume energy.

Active distribution grids with Local Energy Communities (LECs) create more opportunities for grid planners in the form of new active measures, such as flexibility from LECs, that can supplement traditional (passive) grid investment measures.
