Abstract :
The paper aims at presenting part of results of the research activity developed in the context of quantifying the impact of a renewed Transmission & Distribution (T&D) infrastructure on EU 2020 goals. More in details, the definition, validation, update and use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are pointed out, in order to comparatively assess the effectiveness of different smarting interventions on the distribution electric grid. The KPIs are mainly related to environmental issues and power quality aspects. The validation of the proposed KPIs is performed by means of a specific methodology developed for the evaluation of the benefits and the optimization of the effectiveness due to smarting actions on the distribution network.
