Abstract: The electric power generation, transmission and distribution are in a profound process of change, particularly related to the activities of the various regions. It is currently not clear enough for each region, what technical requirements and non-technical requirements for a successful operation of such a smart grid must be met. It is currently not known, how to build it up and what results can be achieved. This paper describes the key technical and non-technical aspects for the successful operation of a smart grid in a certain region. It takes into account the lessons learned from the activities for the development of a smart grid on the Isle of Pellworm.

Keywords: Flexible loads, storage elements, smart grid region, hybrid power plant, demand side management
