Overview

Project Summary

Adapted and lightly edited from: https://www.discern.eu/project.html

The objective of DISCERN is to utilize the experience from major European DSOs to produce innovative technological solutions for a more efficient monitoring and control of distribution networks. The complementary nature of the demonstration sites with regard to specific challenges, and technological and operational solutions, serves as the primary resource of DISCERN. The project includes five demonstration projects across four EU countries.
