Conclusion The future energy supply scheme will change dramatically–Generation pattern change into an environmental friendly and moredecentralized mix–Customer become an active partner in energy markets, due tointelligent connection and appliances (Smart meter, EV and DG) The complexity of middle and low voltage grids will increase andchanging the way how to operate a DSO grid effectively Smart Grid structures will fulfil future customer needs, but has torespect following expectations:–Quality of supply (availability)–Economical structure whichfulfil the regulated conditions–Smart functionalities of assetshas to support the abovementioned task of supplyRWE Deutschland AG 19.07.2011SEITE 25
