Abstract

The ongoing shift towards a more decentralized and renewable energy system in Germany requires extensive modifications to existing grids and their operating principles - especially at the distribution level. Furthermore, the integration of e-mobility will have a significant effect on distribution grids. Smart distribution systems are one way of handling these new supply scenarios. Hence, a self-sustaining monitoring and control system for LV-grids has been developed. It monitors the power flow situation and is able to control the grid if necessary. The system has been implemented in four LV-grids in Germany. The present paper describes the automation system and our initial experience with this smart grid approach.
