Autarkic State Control in Electrical Distribution Grids Innovative Distribution Grids by Decentralized Intelligence

Smart grid systems have been established as an economic and efficient opportunity to avoid or delay the cost intensive grid enhancement in order to cope with the transformation process in electrical distribution networks. This paper presents the conceptual results of an automation system for medium voltage grids with the ability of coordinated operation across the voltage levels in a distribution grid. Aspects of the algorithmic solution that is currently in an intensive field testing phase are depicted.
