Chapter 12 Design and simulation issues for secure power networks as resilient smart grid infrastructure

The increased penetration levels of renewables and distributed energy resources (DERs) result in increased challenges in maintaining reliable control and operation of the grid. Integrating a wide variety of systems governed by different regulations, and owned by different entities, to the grid increases the level of uncertainty, not only on the demand side, but also in terms of generating resource availability. This complicates the process of achieving a generation/demand balance. Renewable energy sources vary by nature and require intelligent forecasting and prediction systems to determine how and when this energy can be used. Most of these distributed resources will be installed on the distribution network, which, in its current state, already lacks the proper communication and control network necessary to control applicable resources. Moreover, the large number and widespread use of these resources make controlling them from a central location difficult.
