The introduction of renewable resources is leading to significant variability in supply. This, in turn, leads to necessity of balancing supply and demand. Penetration of renewables to distribution level, including microgrids, requires new approaches to maintain distribution systems balanced and reliable. This is a complicated and challenging process that necessitates an increased level of sensors, measurements, monitoring, and protection coordination among other aspects. Integration of renewable resources with the grid is also associated with a new economic model. Move to Transactive Energy requires novel approaches in power systems design and operation, especially on a distribution level.
