“…Modern rural grids require a certain degree of flexibility in order to offer new electrical configurations and new modes of operation [35]. For instance, they should allow isolated operation and reconnection of some or any parts of the grid when various grid eventualities occur [30]. To do so, the overload LV lines should be independently managed in order to energize the islands through back-up energy resources.…”

“…Conversely, Sector 2 (S2) can only operate while connected to the external grid or with the support of other sectors, since this sector is not equipped with IDPRs or a BESS. Table 3 collects all possible scenarios for the PN, according to the operability of sectors and the state of links between them [30][31][32]39]. Table 3.…”

“…They also refer to allowing for an increased potential to inherently accommodate the integration and distribution of renewable energy sources. Moreover, it enables new operation modes that guarantee the continuity of supply and reliability even in the case of the external failure conditions [18,26,28,[30][31][32].…”

This paper presents a novel architecture for rural distribution grids. This architecture is designed to modernize traditional rural networks into new Smart Grid ones. The architecture tackles innovation actions on both the power plane and the management plane of the system. In the power plane, the architecture focuses on exploiting the synergies between telecommunications and innovative technologies based on power electronics managing low scale electrical storage. In the management plane, a decentralized management system is proposed based on the addition of two new agents assisting the typical Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system of distribution system operators. Altogether, the proposed architecture enables operators to use more effectively-in an automated and decentralized way-weak rural distribution systems, increasing the capability to integrate new distributed energy resources. This architecture is being implemented in a real Pilot Network located in Spain, in the frame of the European Smart Rural Grid project. The paper also includes a study case showing one of the potentialities of one of the principal technologies developed in the project and underpinning the realization of the new architecture: the so-called Intelligent Distribution Power Router.
