1 – Research activities linked to the
integration of distributed generation
Links with MicroCheap :


Most of the european "integration projects"
consider only RE systems (wind, PV, solar, …)
and "classical" micro-cogen (fossil driven)
A link is easy to make if simple models are
available for biomass micro-cogen units
