Abstract

Recent studies show that more and more information and communication technology (ICT) and smart grid applications (SGA) are used in distribution networks to support network operation. These can also be used to optimize the power balance and to provide flexibility from the distribution network at the interface to the higher-level network. In the future it could be possible to offer ancillary services from distribution networks. Since an availability of 100% is currently assumed for ancillary services and previous studies show that both ICT and SGA have an influence on the reliability of distribution networks as well as the developments on load and generation side including market influences, this availability cannot be assured by distribution networks. Therefore, a meaningful option is the determination of the reliability of schedule and flexibility potential. The necessary assessment parameters are presented and a first analysis shows the influence on the reliability and its dependence on the actual grid usage.
