Success Cases
Electricity distribution grids are the backbone of the energy transition. As enablers of this transformation, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) face growing challenges to ensure the security of electricity supply, enhance network resilience against climate change effects and improve their services to meet customers’ needs. To navigate this complex picture, E.DSO members strive for continuous modernisation in network planning, management, operation and consumer interaction.
As part of the 2024 Strategy of the Technology and Knowledge Sharing Committee of E.DSO, in October 2024 we launched the Success Case initiative, aimed at illustrating how DSOs effectively put into practice technological innovation to overcome current and emerging challenges in the power system.
The Success Cases showcase flagship initiatives and best practices from E.DSO members with the ambition to:
- Exemplify the effectiveness of forward-looking strategies in tackling the needs of European power grids to ensure their reliability, efficiency, robustness and competitiveness.
- Demonstrate the pivotal role of novel technological applications in achieving the European energy goals, from accelerating the integration of renewable sources to boosting electrification in the transport sector.
- Stimulate innovation in distribution network operations, in synergy with the guidance provided by our E.DSO Technology Radar.
The Success Cases contain a brief report, typically a few pages long, that presents a key activity or project successfully implemented by an individual E.DSO member and highlights the tangible benefits delivered for the DSO and its customers. Each Case outlines the challenges faced by the DSO, the developed technological solution, and the key success factors that led to the optimisation of their grid operations.
