    Smart Grids require innovations in the electricity networks, mainly on the level of the distributed system operator (DSO). A main objective is to increase the share of distributed generation (DG) connected to that network level, but also to enable load management on the demand side. This paper analyses network innovations in the context of the regulatory framework, namely incentive regulation. It is structured as follows: The first section examines how cost-based and price-based regulatory schemes influence RD&D by regulated companies. This is followed by a discussion of various regulatory instruments to stimulate innovation. The third section provides a more general discussion of the pros and cons of promoting network innovations via network regulation.incentive regulation; price-based regulation; cost-based regulation; Rd&D; network innovations

    In der Eingliederungshilfe für Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen lassen sich etablierte Verständnisse von Räumlichkeiten und Rollen verändern. Die gebräuchliche Unterscheidung von privaten und öffentlichen Räumen kann und muss dort weiter differenziert werden. Aus der Sicht von institutioneller Care-Arbeit verändern sich damit auch die Rollen der in diesen Organisationen tätigen Mitarbeitenden. Der Beitrag reflektiert hierzu Erfahrungen aus der Arbeit einer Diako-nischen Stiftung und entwickelt Vorschläge zu einer differenzierten Betrachtungsweise. Dabei werden besonders auf Erfahrungen der Corona-Pandemie und das Verständnis von Freiheit in seinen verschiedenen Varianten eingegangen.In the work of integration assistance for people with disabilities the established understandings of spaces and roles can be changed.
