Brief description and/or other information regarding the project:
In order to reliably substitute large-scale power plants that mainly rely on finite fossil fuels with distributed energy re-sources, system-stabilizing tasks have to be shifted from the transmission system level to the distribution system level. In future, coalitions of distributed consumers, producers and storages providing active power by following concerted schedules or providing system services for frequency and voltage control therefore will have to comply with the same technical requirements as conventional power plants. Therefore, an agent-based concept for the coordinated and distributed provision of active power, reactive power and balancing power on the distribution system level will be developed.
