»DISTRIBUTED ENERGY AND SMART GRID CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SURVIVE DISASTER«
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 4
The paper presents Czech research project in the field of smart critical infrastructure. Aim of this project is to create bridge between liberalized power business and new challenges rising from global risks. During the disaster it is necessary to ensure basic human needs and protection. The continuity of critical infrastructure must be secured against the consequences of cascading phenomena and the domino effect. Project solves the resilience of power distribution against national transmission grid blackout. Project’s goal is to demonstrate possibility of crisis demand side management that enables to provide necessary electricity for residents and critical infrastructure through adaptive distribution grid islanding. This function should be a basic functionality of smart grids. Project No2A-1TP1/065 „Increasing the resilience of the distribution system against long-term transmission grid blackout in order to enhance public safety” was supported by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade in the framework of “Sustainable prosperity” program. Project is called RESPO - REsilient POwer. This paper presents successful story of how society is willing to invest in resilience after a disaster experience.
