smart grid IN DENMARK 2.0 | 19ish Smart Grid, just as Danish businesses are able todevelop solutions for a far larger market.To ensure the cost-efficient implementation of thestandards, they should primarily be applied in connectionwith the development of new solutions,markets and products. However, in future, the entirepower system and all involved players should movetowards using the recommended standards.Moreover, the standards are not “static”, and it is importantthat Danish players become involved in theirfuture development. Here, it is important to ensurethat the ongoing process is coordinated with theSmart Grid Network recommendations, for example“Communication standards for smaller power-generatingunits” (part-recommendation 18) and “Interoperabilityof Smart Grid solutions” (part-recommendation20).STANDARDISATION MAKES ECONOMIC SENSE¼ Using a harmonised concept for exchanging information is an efficient way of integrating differentplayers, components and customers. It means, for example, that the cost of mobilising a DER unitis reduced if, from the outset, it is designed so that it can be monitored and remotely controlled in astandardised way by, for example, an aggregator – the appliance must be “smart grid-ready”. Moreover,it reduces the cost of changing aggregators, which improves competition in the market.IMPLEMENTATION IS A JOINT PROJECT¼ To promote Danish solutions for implementing and supporting the widespread use of the internationalstandards, a number of projects will be launched with the broad support of the industry. For example,the Danish Energy Association, the Danish District Heating Association, the Association of Danish CHPEnterprises and Energinet.dk have launched the CHPCOM project which involves implementing newstandards at the CHP plants. This will produce valuable experience and industry recommendationswhich can pave the way for further implementations.
