Abstract

Integrating distributed generation into power grids creates various technical challenges for network operation. Volatility of renewable energy resources may increase the probability of blackouts. In order to restore networks fast, securely and reliably after blackouts, within the research project RestoreGrid4RES’s network restoration strategies, the related issues caused by distributed generation are investigated and novel methods to face those challenges are developed. This paper focuses on (i) algorithms to identify possible restoration paths, (ii) key performance indicators for the assessment of grid restoration options and (iii) an evaluation of the results for network restoration strategies.
