Abstract
Ensuring a functioning critical infrastructure system is crucial for many industries, including energy. Due to the transformation of the energy sector, it is necessary to take into account the impact of the induced changes on critical infrastructure. The presented paper focuses on the assessment of the effects of small dispersed photovoltaic power plants (PV), which are gaining in popularity both in households and in other buildings. Specifically, it is an impact assessment within the emergence of island operation in the selected area with the aim of restoring power to the facilities included in the critical infrastructure system as soon as possible. The specificity of the considered small photovoltaic power plants is their autonomy and impossibility of control from the superior control system. The presented case study compares possible approaches to power recovery on the one hand and the impact of different levels of dispersed PV on the other. The results provide important conclusions for the expected development of the critical infrastructure system in connection with the increase in autonomous distributed electricity sources.
