Visions of future distribution systems

A future vision of the electrical transmission and distribution system is discussed in this paper. The content is based on the results from the ELFORSK project-Vision 21 performed during 1995-1996, where over 100 creative ideas were received from 45 participators. The visions are describing both system aspects, new business concepts, advanced components and customer services 20-30 years ahead. This paper highlights and comments upon some of the visions. A brief analysis of some benefit value is also presented.
