Nowadays grid connected Renewable Energy Sources have reached a level that was not even conceivable just few years ago with serious concerns on power systems’ stability and security. In 2010, the Italian regulatory Authority for electricity, gas and water system (AEEGSI) started the demonstration phase for smart grids by adopting an input based incentive scheme and a competitive selection process in order to award a limited number of projects. All projects are now in the rollout phase and the first data are going to be collected from the field in a real world environment. This paper describes the project status and defines the fundamentals of a regulation mechanism based on different levels of smartness and on the identification of suitable indicators to assess the performances of smart grids and, consequently, to define penalties and/or rewards for DSOs.

Abstract
Nowadays grid connected Renewable Energy Sources have reached a level that was not even conceivable just few years ago with serious concerns on power systems’ stability and security. In 2010, the Italian regulatory Authority for electricity, gas and water system (AEEGSI) started the demonstration phase for smart grids by adopting an input based incentive scheme and a competitive selection process in order to award a limited number of projects. All projects are now in the rollout phase and the first data are going to be collected from the field in a real world environment. This paper describes the project status and defines the fundamentals of a regulation mechanism based on different levels of smartness and on the identification of suitable indicators to assess the performances of smart grids and, consequently, to define penalties and/or rewards for DSOs.Pubblicazioni consigliate
