Abstract
The European electrical transmission network is operated increasingly close to its operational limits due to market integration and increased feed-in by renewable energies. For this reason, innovative solutions for a reliable, secure and efficient network operation are requested. The application of self-organizing systems promises significant potential in real-time control. This paper outlines the challenges of power system operation, gives a brief overview of relevant system characteristics and discusses the applicability of self-organizing systems for different fields of power system control. As a result of current research, the application of an agent-based decentralized power flow control system is presented and discussed in comparison to current practice based on central decision making.
