NORDAC 2010

One of the main future challenges for the entire energy sector will be making substantial reductions in emissions of greenhouse gasses while ensuring a secure supply of energy at a reasonable cost. EU has launched its 2020 targets (20% cut in emissions, 20% improvement in energy efficiency and 20% increase in renewables) as a very important part of the solution.

The distribution system is expected to play a key role as further generation is implemented at the distribution level; changes in the consumption pattern due to electric vehicles, smart metering etc. will require large investments to facilitate future needs. Utilities as well as academia play a very important role in the development and implementation of intelligent solutions. The future electricity distribution system must be smart!

The NORDAC 2010 conference gave the attendees the possibility to discuss these and other future challenges and solutions, as well as disseminate experiences regarding technical, economic and regulatory issues.

The NORDAC 2010 conference was held in Aalborg, Denmark on 6-7 September 2010. It was organised in co-operation with CIRED and sponsored by EA Technology.

The next NORDAC conference will be in Finland in 2012.
