Compared with conventional distribution systems, the information and communication system of a smart grid distribution system has evolved considerably into a sophisticated assembly of advanced measurements, two-way, high-speed communication and big data management that stores and analyses information about power distribution and consumption.
As the province's utility, it operates 26 hydropower plants, two cogeneration plants and a large number of photovoltaic and biomass plants and at the same time is one of the largest broadband cable net- work operators in Austria. Salzburg has now set itself the goal of becoming a model region for developing and operating smart grids in the future.
Using cooling energy as a “battery” integrated in the electricity grid provides great potential for improving integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources, such as wind power and photovoltaics. Supermarkets can therefore become active components of a smart grid scenario.
Real components, such as inverters and cogeneration plants can also be connected to these simulators (power hardware-in-the- loop). Operating smart grids also requires new control algorithms for operating power networks with the participants being actively integrated.
