This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the interaction between different energy vectors, that is, between electrical, thermal, gas, and transportation systems, with the purpose of optimizing the planning and operation of future energy systems. More and more renewable energy is integrated into the electrical system, and to optimize its usage and ensure that its full production can be hosted and utilized, the power system has to be controlled in a more flexible manner. In order not to overload the electrical distribution grids, the new large loads have to be controlled using demand response, perchance through a hierarchical control set-up where some controls are dependent on price signals from the spot and balancing markets. In addition, by performing local real-time control and coordination based on local voltage or system frequency measurements, the grid hosting limits are not violated.

Download or read book Planning Tools for the Integration of Renewable Energy Sources Into Low and Medium Voltage Distribution Grids written by Jean-François Toubeau and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter presents two probabilistic planning tools developed for the long-term analysis of distribution networks. The first one focuses on the low-voltage (LV) level and the second one addresses the issues occurring in the medium-voltage (MV) grid. Both tools use Monte Carlo algorithms in order to simulate the distribution network, taking into account the stochastic nature of the loading parameters at its nodes. Section 1 introduces the probabilistic framework that focuses on the analysis of LV feeders with distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation using quarter-hourly smart metering data of load and generation at each node of a feeder. This probabilistic framework is evaluated by simulating a real LV feeder in Belgium considering its actual loading parameters and components. In order to demonstrate the interest of the presented framework for the distribution system operators (DSOs), the same feeder is then simulated considering future scenarios of higher PV integration as well as the application of mitigation solutions (reactive power control, P/V droop control thanks to a local management of PV inverters, et cetera) to actual LV network operational issues arising from the integration of distributed PV generation. Section 2 introduces the second planning tool designed to help the DSO, making the best investment for alleviating the MV-network stressed conditions. Practically, this tool aims at finding the optimal positioning and sizing of the devices designed to improve the operation of the distribution grid. Then a centralized control of these facilities is implemented in order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The simulation is carried out under various load and generation profiles, while the evaluation criteria of the methodology are the probabilities of voltage violation, the presence of congestions and the total line losses.

Download or read book A Distributed Smart Grid Control Model for Integration of Renewables written by Kiyoshi Nakayama and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future smart grids will likely support bi-directional flow of electricity and include power production from multiple, disparate, and uncontrollable sources due to a high penetration of distributed renewable energy resources. Some of the more challenging problems for the future grid include maximizing the use and efficiency of renewable resources, and realizing optimal demand and power production responses that can complement renewable intermittency. Integration of renewables together with energy storage systems has been motivated by the increasing attention to feature renewable energies not only from solar and wind power but also from the excess generation from many customers. Effective use of renewable resources using battery systems can be realized by balancing distributed energy resources (DERs) with complementary demand and dispatchable generation responses. The spatial distribution, intermittency, and uncontrollability of most renewable resources, however, make stable and reliable electricity transmission and distribution difficult especially with high renewable market penetration in large-scale complex power networks. In order to use energy storage systems effectively for optimizing DERs and realizing a reliable and sustainable future grid with a lot of real-time end-use devices that anticipate demands automatically, we present an autonomous distributed control model that can realize optimum power flow control together with demand and power response. The proposed model, which integrates tie-set graph theory with an autonomous agent system, effectively divides the power network into a set of independent loops (tie-sets). Autonomous agents constantly navigate the network to dynamically synchronize state information within tie-sets and completely automate the future power network. Due to the theoretical basis of a tie-set graph, the supply and load of electric power at every instant can be balanced even if the future load is uncertain and renewable generation is highly variable and unpredictable. In this thesis, we developed a distributed control model to deal with the following important problems: Optimal Real-time Distribution of renewable Energy Resources (ORDER), Optimal Real-time Power Flow (ORPF), and Power-flow Loss Minimization (PLM). The objective of the ORDER problem is minimizing the power supply from a Centralized Generation Facility (CGF), which is a power production station that uses fossil fuels or any other resources except renewables, with balanced distribution and allocation of DERs. To minimize the power supply from CGF, the net demands (loads minus renewables) and power from CGF should be constantly balanced under the condition that the storage system at each node has at least certain amount of energy within the fixed range of the capacity. If all the net demands are balanced, power supply from CGF can be minimized and blackouts can be prevented. In ORPF problem, we expand the model by considering cost functions of using CGF and battery. The goal is to minimize the total cost, which consists of (1) the cost of power production by the CGF using fossil fuels and (2) the cost of using batteries across multiple time periods to balance the fluctuation of renewable power generation and loads. To solve the ORPF problem, we present a novel decentralized algorithm to autonomously allocate the CGF generations and battery charges/discharges. In PLM problem, power flow loss is taken into account on top of the model. A distributed algorithm is proposed to minimize the loss while distributing energy resources to consumers in a future grid that connects many real-time distributed generation systems. We employ the notion of tie-sets to create a linear vector space represented by a set of loops in the power network where the power loss function can be simply formulated and solved. As finding a solution for each tie-set enables global optimization, we propose parallel computing based on tie-sets by integrating autonomous agents; the power loss on every link can be minimized with iterative optimization within a system of independent tie-sets.
