Abstract

As has been shown in various previous studies, smart grid applications (SGA) may represent a cost-efficient alternative to conventional network reinforcement for integrating further distributed generation units and optimising current power systems. However, SGA, such as generation side management and remotely controllable switches, are at least partly dependent on an information and communication system (ICT system). Therefore, interactions between power system and ICT system need consideration in the planning process. For the purpose of assessing power system reliability in smart grids, enhanced algorithms have been developed. The selection of configuration options, however, still represents a challenge due to lack of exact quantitative failure data for the ICT system and various option details. Therefore, possible configuration options have been identified and sensitivity analyses have been carried out, which on one hand show the benefits of SGA and on the other hand the influence of those options.
