Since 1994, IEA  PVPS Task 5 has been developing and verifying technical requirements for safe and reliable connection of dispersed PV systems to electricity networks. Recent research activity has focused on islanding problems, probabilities and risk assessment, and the impacts of high penetration of PV systems on the distribution grid.

This workshop, sponsored by Novem and KEMA, is intended to inform utilities, manufacturers, PV system installers, users and other authorities of the conclusions of the group’s research. Both days include a forum to provide an opportunity for interactive discussions to ensure a better understanding of the technical requirements that allow a reasonable penetration of PV systems into a distribution network.

The workshop will be held in KEMA’s ELEKTRUM conference facilities in Arnhem. Registration costs EUR 150. The workshop programme and registration forms can be downloaded from the PVPS website. Alternatively contact Bas Verhoeven at KEMA for further information, Fax: +31 (0) 26 44 33 843
