Abstract :
Integration of DG into MV distribution grids in Norway means integration of small hydro power units. Most of the DG potential in Norway is located in rural areas with weak MV grids and low consumption. This paper describes the situation in Norway regarding integration of DG into the MV grid. The paper also describes the challenges DSOs face regarding integration of DG and a particular case from Namsskogan is used as an example.
