Increasing numbers of decentralized energy resources with fluctuating behaviour lead to higher prediction errors of the production forecast (quantity and location) and raise the risk of large-scale blackouts. With the concept of modular grids (MGs) a decentralized operation of subgrids is achievable by the use of a power electronic grid interconnector (GIC) [1]. This paper shows a novel approach for an islanded operation of MGs to supply customers with energy during large-scale blackouts of the upstream grid. To investigate the proposed concept, controllable actors, the GIC and the CIGRÉ medium voltage benchmark network [2] are modelled in DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Achieved results are presented in this paper.
