Flexzone concept to enable resilient distribution grids — Possibilities in Sundom Smart Grid

摘要

In the future active distribution network management will be in key role to enable future resilient distribution grids. It includes for example solutions for distribution automation and control of flexible energy resources (flexibilities). Distribution grid zones with flexibilities can be seen as resilient distribution grid building-blocks. In this paper flexibilities based FlexZone concept is proposed. FlexZone concept can create basis for coordinated use of flexibilities between distribution and transmission system operators and realization of improved local and system-wide grid resiliency. In the end, also possibilities to apply FlexZone concept in Sundom Smart Grid for the development of active network management and protection applications will be presented.
