The development of electrical energy systems presents novel challenges for the electricity grid, including those pertaining to stability and protection. In Germany, the replacement of conventional power plants with decentralized renewable energy generation plants (RE) is underway. The majority of these plants are integrated with converters at voltage levels ≤ 110 kV. This integration enables the conceptualization of management strategies for isolated grid operation, particularly during periods of high renewable energy generation due to prevailing meteorological conditions. From an energy perspective, the transmission grid is not necessary during this time. [1] This paper investigates whether a successful transition from interconnected operation to island operation is possible. This is analyzed with the help of RMS simulations in an open source model. Various initial scenarios are specified. Finally, the results are analyzed to determine a resilience indicator that evaluates the islanding capability of the underlying distribution grid. This indicator considers the transmitted active and reactive power (vertical grid load) and the level of prevailing inertia. The aim is to demonstrate at which indicator values the grid can transition to island operation.
