High performance computing and communications technology solutions for future smart distribution network operation

To improve the integration of distributed energy resources on distribution networks, new DMS functionalities need to be developed. To run near-to-real time DMS applications novel high performance computing and communications technology solutions can be adopted by DNO's. Therefore, this paper presents the work carried out in the HiPerDNO project regarding the development of a new generation of DMS applications and its integration with scalable and secure high performance ICT infrastructures.
