Abstract

Distribution system operators (DSOs) face challenges integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) into their grid network. This article presents an exploratory study of Swedish DSOs and their actions and capabilities to manage DER integration. The study is based on information from a combination of secondary data, interviews, and surveys. The findings include the current most pressing challenges for Swedish DSOs, different DSO responses to ongoing change, and differences in DSO capabilities to manage increasing shares of DERs. Both regulatory and organizational barriers for DSOs to integrate DERs into distribution grids are identified and discussed.
