Decentralized Control of Distribution System

The project aims to hw and sw technologies enabling decentralized control of a distribution system (DS) and demand side in the modern energy. R&D activities will focus on significant improvements of the technical properties of smart metering and communication elements of DS through advanced analytical services, innovative control capabilities and significantly improved communication security with emphasis on cost-affordability of resulting solutions.Expected innovations aligned with new control concepts of demand side and DS operation enable systematic and feasible transition from the current DS control to a flexible system capable of taking advantage of new technologies into the DS and taking into account the influence of new stakeholders implementing technical,social or market services.
