Orths, P.B. Eriksen, and V. Akhmatov,in the Proceedings of the 2007 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 24-28 June 2007The paper discusses modern power system as a critical infrastructure. The expected insertion of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution networks entailed by environmental, regulation and economical aspects will modify the way the entire system is planned and operated. Due to its dispersed nature, DG will require a more flexible operated system. This situation will emerge through various applications and developments of distribution automation. In addition, DG has already showed some impacts on system security. Active user participation in energy markets through activation of distributed energy resources is considered, as is distributed generation towards an effective contribution to power system security and communication requirements and solutions for secure power system operation. Increase of the contribution of dispersed and renewable energy resources (D&RES) in the peak power balance up to 60% in accordance with goals of the European Communities for the year 2010 requires innovative approaches to keep security of the power supply at the current high level.
