Power System Restoration: Meeting the Challenge to Resiliency from Distributed Generation
Carsten Roggatz, Michael Power, Nisheeth Singh
Abstract
The paradigm shift in the configuration of the power system in Europe and the United States away from large conventional synchronous generators to small generating units distributed over large geographical areas, many of which are powered by intermittent renewable resources, has a major effect on various aspects of system operations, most importantly dispatch and commitment processes. This article discusses the challenges for power system restoration and how to meet those challenges.
