Optimization Control

In recent years, the installation of residential Distributed Energy Resources (DER) that produce (mainly rooftop photovoltaics usually bundled with battery system) or consume (electric heat pumps, controllable loads, electric vehicles) electric power is continuously increasing in Low Voltage (LV) distribution networks. Several technical challenges may arise through the massive integration of DER, which have to be addressed by the distribution grid operator. However, DER can provide certain degree of flexibility to the operation of distribution grids, which is generally performed with temporal shifting of energy to be consumed or injected. This work advances a horizon optimization control framework which aims to efficiently schedule the LV network’s operation in day-ahead scale coordinating multiple DER. The main objectives of the proposed control is to ensure secure LV grid operation in the sense of admissible voltage bounds and rated loading conditions for the secondary transformer. The proposed methodology leans on a multi-period three-phase Optimal Power Flow (OPF) addressed as a nonlinear optimization problem. The resulting horizon control scheme is validated within an LV distribution network through multiple case scenarios with high microgeneration and electric vehicle integration providing admissible voltage limits and avoiding unnecessary active power curtailments.

Distributed Energy Resource

Electricity has traditionally been a commodity that is bought and sold through a rigid marketplace between an electric utility and a ratepayer. Today, however, the electricity market is rapidly evolving to be comprised of distributed energy resources and microgrids that change the structure of the technical and financial relationship between utilities and ratepayers. Regulation, a reduction in cost of renewable energy technologies, interoperability and improved communications, and public interest in green power are facilitating this transition. Microgrids require an additional layer of control, often use preprogrammed rule sets, and lack bi-directional self-awareness, self-management, and self-diagnostics necessary to dynamically adapt to changes on-site and in the grid. Research is needed in optimization and controls. This study explores the viability of self-organizing control algorithms to manage multiple distributed energy resources within a distribution network and reduce electricity cost to one or more ratepayers having such resources installed on-site. Such research provides insight into the transition from a traditional power distribution architecture into a flexible smart network that is better prepared for future technological advances, renewables integration, and customer-side control. Agent-based techniques are employed for least-cost optimization and implements these to manage transactions between three decentralized distributed energy resource systems within an electrical network.
