The g eneral scene of power systems over the past years has strongly evolved due to two main major reasons: the increasing share of renewable intermittent energy sources\, and the increasing share of electricity in the energy mi x\, with dynamic load and progress in automation and control but also with the arrival of new stakeholders and market rules.
