Popis: Worldwide the increasing amount of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E) is challenging the way how electricity systems traditionally work. While conventional power plants used to be located close to major demand centers, a great share of the RES-E capacity installed over the last years is located far away from areas of high demand. In various countries with a strong growth of RES-E this causes an increasing amount of grid congestion both on the transmission and distribution level, for example in Germany.
