Abstract

In modern conditions, when there is a mass construction of small power plants based on renewable sources, the installation of power storage devices is gaining pace, consumers ' electrical installations are being modified, they are becoming adaptive and intelligent, there is a process of mass appearance of electric vehicles, and a revision of traditional provisions in the field of system reliability of power systems is required. Scientific research in the field of EPS flexibility has recently been intensified, and this flexibility is considered in a fairly broad setting. It is important to note that the issues of EPS flexibility are not new, but the term “flexibility” was not used to refer to this issue before, although all the main issues were considered within the framework of the topic of system reliability and development of EES, and the issue of continuity of modern research with previous scientific research and existing scientific results is important. Traditionally, one of the aspects of system reliability has been the power security of the EPS, which refers to the ability of the system to withstand sudden disturbances without unintended impacts on electricity consumers. At the same time, the analysis of power security was mainly performed only in the volume of the system-forming power gird of the EPS. For the power systems of the future, the importance of power security increases significantly, but as an analysis of the power security of the system-forming and distribution power grids together.
