DSO Innovation Briefing

Europe’s energy transition is currently outpacing its grid capacity, creating an urgent need to optimize both existing and new infrastructure for the mass uptake of renewables. While innovative solutions are available to unlock new capacity very quickly, deployment is still a challenge. To bridge the gap between innovation and wide-scale deployment, CurrENT invites you to a series of educational briefings tailored specifically for distribution system operators (DSOs). These briefings include technical deep-dives designed to provide distribution system operators with a practical roadmap for the immediate deployment of market-ready grid technologies.

Each session provides a comprehensive assessment of innovative grid technologies, benchmarking them against traditional solutions. Topics covered include:

• Best-practice modelling approaches, from network-wide assessments to project-specific studies
• Real-time operational tools to enhance grid performance and flexibility
• Market integration strategies and advanced control philosophies
• Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) frameworks to support investment decisions
• Realistic project timelines for practical implementation
• European reference cases demonstrating proven success

These insights empower stakeholders to customise and deploy innovative solutions tailored to their specific network needs.
