Abstract :
The move towards renewable energy and the deregulation of the market changes the infrastructure for power transport and distribution from centralised to distributed. This requires a new algorithm for control of the electrical power infrastructure. This paper describes a possible new algorithm: a distributed, emergent algorithm that provides additional dependability and resilience to failures. The trade-offs of this algorithm, faults that can be tolerated and the possibility for priorities are also discussed.
