Introduction Renewables feeding all voltage levels Bulk wind farms onshore and offshore feeding transmission grid Smaller wind farms and large PV plants feeding distribution grid Small roof PV plants feeding LV grid Energy infeed is predictable, power infeed not Energy trade Energy market is deregulated Transmission system expansion Reduction of spinning reserve Power electronics equipments Reduction of system inertia High system dynamics Transmission grids with a clear Power Transmission task are transformed into Power Exchange platforms
Power system operator The power system operator s role is similar to one of the car driver or airplane pilot - a generation/ load schedule to follow; - operate under provision of grid code rules; - cope with planned/ unplanned outages and contingencies; - foresee and avoid dangerous situations.

Summary and conclusion traditional operational concepts as such are becoming insufficient tools for increasing situational awareness of the operators are required real time DSA tools have to be adopted for the operators to prevent outages, (taskforce investigating 2003 US-Canada blackout, recommendation no. 22) conduct security assessment to assess contingency situations, (NERC, policy no. 9) key method for ensuring for reliable system operation is the use of online DSA tools, (CIGRE WG C4)...new tools for security assessment need to be developed, (ENTSO-E, R&D plan EUROGIRD 2020) in addition to, rather than instead of, well-established and proven concepts
