Distributed Generation – DG

• Increased DG penetration is expected– New products– New connection standards

• Advantages– Many use renewable energy sources– May relieve network– Island operation may reduce interruption time

• Challenges– Network operation and DG interact– Exploit communication for controlp– New view on DG needed – DG offers new possibilities

Active network a solution

Passive network until now• Flexibility comes from network capacity • Network itself may handle all probable loading conditions• Investments are in lines, cables, transformers and switchgear, , gActive network• Flexibility comes from use of controllable resources• Investments are in controllability and information and• Investments are in controllability and information and

telecommunication technologies• Require integration of DG units instead of "fit & forget”

S ff t f ti f i di id l t ll bl• Synergy effects from co-operation of individual controllable resources

Goals of Active Network Management – ANM

• Ensure safe network operation in networks with DG • Increase network reliability in networks with DG• Maximize the use of the existing networks with bottlenecks

caused by voltage issues• Maintain the required level of power quality despite non-

predictable power production or consumption

Objective of ADINE

• To develop, demonstrate and validate ANM– distribution network including DG and other active devices– to enable an easy connection of DG units

• Develop a set of technical solutions• Demonstrate in real-life environment• Validate combination of solutions through simulations

Protection of distribution networks with DG

• Protection is a critical issue for DG integrationintegration

• Non-directional over-current relays not sufficientnot sufficient– Communication based relays a

solution• Fault location disturbed by DGy

– New method taking DG influence into account

• Manual protection planning needs to b i i i dbe minimized– Co-ordinated planning in Network

Voltage control of networks with DG

• DG affects voltage regulation by violating basic assumptions

• Local control of DG units– Control of reactive output

C t li d lt t l• Centralised voltage control– Co-ordinate all devices– SCADA/DMS software

Manage network losses– Manage network losses, reactive compensation

New generation medium voltage STATCOM

• DG affects power quality

• STATCOM can act in many time-scales– Filtering harmonics, eliminating flicker

Voltage dip mitigation– Voltage dip mitigation– Reactive power compensation– Voltage regulation
