Abstract

The many new installation of generators, often based on renewable sources, in the distribution grids impacts the future development of modern electrical distribution systems that must to evolve towards Smart Grids. An important function required by the future smart grids is the possibility to maintain an intentional island using a suitable control of the distributed generator. In this paper, after a general description of the real time simulation in the Smart Grid context, the behavior analysis of the grid with generators PQ controlled and PV controlled has been carried out using the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) installed in the Enel Distribuzione S.p.A. test center.
