  • The increasing penetration of distribution grids with distributed energy resources (DER) causes new technical challenges for voltage control, grid loading and reliability. At the same time operators are bound to optimize their grids according to incentive and quality regulation. In this context an attempted to reduce costs for the integration of DER by using intelligent applications such as automation, monitoring and control functionalities for the support of grid operation instead of conventional grid reinforcement can be seen. The aim for this trend is to utilize currently installed equipment more effectively. However intelligent applications are partly dependent on the information and communication technology system (ICT-system) and with the operation of the grid within its technical constrains becoming increasingly dependent on the proper functioning of these applications, the grid itself will be depended on the ICT-system as well. In this case the reliability of the grid may also be influenced by intelligent applications and the ICT-system.
