The CBA compares five coordination schemes in three countries (Italy, Denmark and Spain) on the basis of several economic indicators. On top of them, it also calculates some non-economic indicators to enrich the analysis. The main results for the Italian and the Spanish cases are presented in this paper.596643enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconference outputTransmission system operatorsDistribution system operatorsCost-benefit analysisElectricityTransmission system operatorsDistribution system operatorsCost-benefit analysisElectricityProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/691405/EU/Smart TSO-DSO interaction schemes, market architectures and ICT Solutions for the integration of ancillary services from demand side management and distributed generation/SmartNetinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/691405/EU/Smart TSO-DSO interaction schemes, market architectures and ICT Solutions for the integration of ancillary services from demand side management and distributed generation/SmartNetFunding InfoThe research leading to this article has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 691405.The research leading to this article has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 691405.
