Claim:
1. A method for operating a power grid that has decentralized control elements, comprising: adapting the decentralized control elements to interact with each other by communication of information via a data link; monitoring, by at least one of the decentralized control elements, at least a part of the power grid, the at least one of the decentralized control elements, or an interaction between the decentralized control elements; and when a communication breakdown problem in the monitored at least the part of the power grid, the monitored at least one of the decentralized control elements, or the interaction between the monitored decentralized control elements is detected by the at least one of the decentralized control elements based on measurements of signal and noise ratio strength or the detection of packet loss, the at least one of the decentralized control elements forces itself when affected by the communication breakdown problem to work autonomously.
