Investigation of Fast, Secure and Reliable Network Restoration after Blackouts

Integrating distributed generation into power grids creates various technical challenges for network operation. Volatility of renewable energy resources may increase the probability of blackouts. In order to restore networks fast, securely and reliably after blackouts, within the research project Re...
