2.4.4 AC/DC Microgrid Protection Mechanism (IITK, IITBBS, TAMU-Begovic, IITD, NETRA)2.4.4.1 Characterization of Challenges for AC/DC Microgrid Protection Mechanisms: Various problems and potential solutions will be identified for AC microgrid protection (operational modes, effects of distributed generation, topology-induced issues, as well as compliance and standardization problems). The same exercise will be performed for DC microgrids (mainly grounding issues and schemes for interruption of DC current). Particular focus will be given to issues related to implementation of high penetration distributed generation, solar in particular, and other issues related to future evolution of microgrids. The analysis will take into account legacy protection infrastructure and needs for developing an outgrowth on its basis that would demonstrate flexibility and improve both reliability and resilience.2.4.4.2 Solutions for AC/DC Microgrid Protection Mechanisms: An overview of solutions will be proposed for different identified issues. It will be done in the context of Hierarchically Coordinated Protection (HCP). The proposed approach relies on the three protection layers: predictive protection (using high speed computational techniques to compare current conditions to past disturbances), adaptive/settingless protection (having tripping logic based on the select features obtained in real-time), and relay operation correction in case of unintended tripping (intended to be used as a verification toll in case of misoperations). Particular focus will be given to communication-assisted relaying schemes and communication infrastructure that they require.2.4.4.3 Development of Foundation for Simulation Experiment Design: Among the developed schemes, some will be selected to be tested in an embedded system environment, using real relays in conjunction with carefully designed simulation models providing a virtual interface to the relay under a variety of conditions of interest.

2.4.4.4 Deliverables: A report will be developed containing (a) the overview of the characterization of changes and challenges that a transition to modern microgrids would create, both on the AC and the DC side, both in islanded and the grid-connected modes; (b) the portfolio of solutions amounting to a three-layer Hierarchical Protection System (HPC), and (c) development of a series of simulated relay test environments suitable for subsequent implementation as a relay testing in embedded system environment.2.5.1 Cyber physical interdependence analysis (TAMU-Begovic, WSU) 2.5.1.1 Identification of types of interdependence: Types of interdependencies will be identified. The types can be characterized based on the impact or technology. The impacts can be characterized as catastrophic, inconvenience or localized. The catastrophic are the ones that can lead to widespread outage and are the most serious. The inconvenience is like losing access to the provider and localized would be effecting individual customers. The technology types could be soft or hard. The soft would be where there is malfunction and hard would be actual hardware failures. The categorization of these interdependencies would help us prioritize the selection of interdependencies for modeling.2.5.1.2 Developing methods for reliability including interdependence: Interdependence introduces dependent failures which makes the reliability analysis more challenging and sometimes computationally intractable especially when the dependence is wide spread. Most of the reliability literature has focused on independent failures assuming that the cyber part is perfectly reliable or includes only limited dependence like the common mode failures. At the bulk power system level, we have introduced an approach using the concept of cyber-physical interface (CPIM) and consequent event matrix (CEM). First we will investigate the applicability of this approach at the distribution grid including DERs. Then suitable approaches at the distribution level will be developed.2.5.1.3 Simulations to illustrate and test the methods: Simulations will be performed to illustrate and test the efficiency of the developed methods on test systems.

The concepts and algorithms developed will be described along with studies of test systems developed.2.7.8 Reliability Assessment and Improvement (IITK, TAMU-Singh, IITD, WSU) 2.7.8.1 Identification of the structure of the problem: The distribution grid is undergoing many changes leading to more complex network than it was ever before. The inclusion of DERs , storage both centralized as well distributed, demand response bringing load closer to the supply and interaction with the market are making the system very complex. In this subtask, the various elements of the problem will be identified and the structure of the problem defined. 2.7.8.2. Development of reliability analysis methods: In the past the reliability analysis at the distribution level has been limited mostly to the simple radial system. Some work has been done to include DERs but a comprehensive model is lacking. This subtask will develop methods for reliability analysis that include the storage, interactions with demand response and DERs. Both analytical methods and simulation methods will be investigated. 2.7.8.3. Reliability improvement: Studies will be made to show how the developed tools can be used to improve the reliability by using different operational strategies for storage and renewable sources.2.7.8.4 Deliverables: Deliverables a report describing the structure of the problem as well as algorithms developed for reliability studies and strategies to improvement. 3.2.3 Texas A&M Smart Grid Lab-Kezunovic3.2.3.1. Development and implementation of a time-domain simulation model for commercial microgrid using OPAL Real-time simulator: This effort will be focused on a microgrid that contain renewable PV generation, mobile storage (EVs), and fixed battery storage such as may be found in shopping centers, university campuses or hospital complexes.

Preliminary Scope of Work for Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryJhi-Young Joo, 8/21/17

Background to DER-CAM for operation and planning with microgrid  

The Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM) is an economic and environmental model of customer DER adoption. This model has been in development at Berkeley Lab since 2000. The objective of the model is to minimize the cost of operating on-site generation and combined heat and power (CHP) systems, either for individual customer sites or a µGrid. In other words, the focus of this work is primarily economic.To achieve this objective, the following issues must be addressed: Which is the cost-optimal configuration of distributed generation technologies that a specific customer can install? What is the appropriate level of installed capacity of these technologies that minimizes cost? How should the installed capacity be operated so as to minimize the total customer energy bill?

It is assumed that the customer desires to install distributed generation to minimize the cost of energy consumed on site. Consequently, it should be possible to determine the technologies and capacity the customer is likely to install and to predict when the customer will be self-generating electricity and/or transacting with the power grid, and likewise when purchasing fuel or using recovered heat.

The DER-CAM model chooses which DG and/or CHP technologies a customer should adopt and how that technology should be operated based on specific site load and price information, and performance data for available equipment options. The inputs to and outputs from DER-CAM are illustrated below.Key Inputs Into The Model include customer's end-use load profiles (typically for space heat, hot water, gas only, cooling, and electricity only), customer's default electricity tariff, natural gas prices, and other relevant price data, capital, operating and maintenance (O&M), and fuel costs of the various available technologies, together with the interest rate on customer investment, basic physical characteristics of alternative generating, heat recovery and cooling technologies, including the thermal-electric ratio that determines how much residual heat is available as a function of generator electric outputOutputs which are determined by the optimization model are:1. capacities of DG and CHP technology or combination of technologies to be installed2. when and how much of the capacity installed will be running3. total cost of supplying the electric and heat loads.

Background: Applying Micro-PMU in distribution system operation with high DER including storage  

There has been significant work, by LBNL to develop applications for new data streams from the microPMU product (developed by PSL through a project funded by ARPA-E). This work is moving into the application commercialization stage, along with continuing fundamental and novel research. The key value in this work is

Page 10: school.eecs.wsu.edu€¦  · Web viewUI-ASSIST. Texas A&M Statement of work. 2.3.2 . Storage sizing a. nd siting and optimization (TAMU-Singh, MIT, Panasonic) 2.3.2.1 Identification

development of novel applications of distribution data, which rely on or are enhanced by precisely synchronized measurement points.

Some of the key applications which will be utilized in this work include PV Disaggregation integration to forecasting, power flow monitoring for curtailment and control in high penetration of DER scenarios, voltage dependency, model validation and parameterization, incipient failure detection and operator notification – all enabled by the microPMU data streams. The μPMUs used in the LBNL test network were developed by Power Standards Laboratory. μPMUs can capture portions of the operating state of the system to provide actionable intelligence in real-time. Our research focuses on building a bottom-up view of the electric power distribution system using μPMU measurements in the context of limited availability of accurate system models and supplemental measurements (such as SCADA and AMI). To do so, we utilize μPMU measurements to parameterize approximations to system power flows.Each μPMU collects 512 samples of data per cycle, totalling 30720 samples per second, and downsamples/converts the data to the phasor domain with an output of 120 samples/second of three phases of voltage and current, magnitude and phase angle. For a given sample the dataset contains the magnitude and angle of the voltage for all three phases, the magnitude and angle of the current for all three phases and the time stamp. This data is available for a number of μPMUs across the test network, and LBNL will support collection of further data at partner utilities. PMUs and related analytics are the enabling technology which we can apply in this scenario – this work is in research development now, and will be presented at a later stage of the project. Some of the applications developed and in development by the team include:Transient event detection in real-time with arbitrary threshold levels: • Synchronized transient event time• rate of change of magnitudeDiagnosis of transient events and disturbances through cross-referencing and correlation of synchronized data at different locations:• detecting high-impedance faults• locating source of voltage sags (T versus D versus local)High-precision inputs for state estimation and model validation:• phase connectivity (ABC) and network topology• impedance change estimationEmpirical analysis of power quality impacts associated with distributed generation:• voltage variability assessment• reverse power flow detectionEquipment health diagnostics:• arcing faults relational equipment • tap changer/capacitor/switch misoperation.

The work completed in this project will focus on the visibility and situational awareness applications which include:

Visibility behind the substation to enhance situational awareness for transmission operators:• Real time PV disaggregation and visibility• Voltage Dependent Load modeling and load model validation • Early warning of potential instabilities originating from DG• Validation and parameterization of voltage and frequency ride-through behavior of inverters

Background to CyDER for demand response simulation and integration using standard interface and support transactive energy

CyDER (Cyber physical co-simulation platform for DER integration) is a modular, scalable, and interoperable tool for power system planning and operation that is being developed through funding from DOE SunShot, to work seamlessly with existing tools in the utilities (including CymDist (Eaton) and DigSilent Power Factory for distribution planning and network modeling) and will enable the high penetration of distributed energy resource. The tool enhances current utility tools by providing a computationally efficient platform, which will be capable of

Page 11: school.eecs.wsu.edu€¦  · Web viewUI-ASSIST. Texas A&M Statement of work. 2.3.2 . Storage sizing a. nd siting and optimization (TAMU-Singh, MIT, Panasonic) 2.3.2.1 Identification

quasi-static time series simulation, evaluating 1000’s of scenarios for PV, EV and Load analysis, and includes modules for model validation, and other related distribution PMU analytics. In this operations, smart PV inverter controls, and in-feed from real-time distribution sensor measurements including the microPMU will be developed and demonstrated. CyDER is designed to interface with commercial distribution planning tools, to enable transmission, distribution and behind the meter co-simulation, and synchronized analytics. The first prototype was developed around DigSilent PowerFactory and Modelica, utilizing a Functional Mockup Interface to tie the tools together and is now expanded to integrate CYMDIST, a commercial distribution planning simulation tool widely used by US utilities, and GridDyn, and open source transmission simulator developed by LLNL, along with data links to PV inverter, Electric Vehicles, μPMU and other custom modules developed by the team. This will allow users to make full use of the utility models developed in CYMDIST and CYMDIST’s simulation capabilities, along with building new state of the art links to solve key utility problems such as model validation and analytics in the planning environment. For example, the present evolution of the tool is linked through the FMI and custom API, to BTRDB- a custom time series data base developed by UC Berkeley through the ARPA-E project “micro-synchrophasors for distribution” (http://btrdb.io/) - to bring in distribution PMU analytics into the CymDist interface, including voltage, power flow, and topology information to validate and calibrate the models.

Background to V2GSim work at LBNL

The Vehicle-to-Grid Simulator (V2G-Sim), developed at LBNL provides systematic quantitative methods to address the uncertainties and barriers facing vehicle-grid integration (VGI). In the real world, each person drives a different vehicle, in different ways, with different trip distances, at different times. Predicting the adequacy of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) for the needs of drivers, and accurately predicting the impacts and opportunities to the electricity grid from increased PEV deployment requires models that can consider these differences at the individual vehicle level.

V2G-Sim models the driving and charging behavior of individual PEVs to generate temporally- and spatially-resolved predictions of grid impacts and opportunities from increased plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) deployment. V2G-Sim provides bottom up modeling from individual vehicle dynamics all the way up to aggregate grid impacts and opportunities. Any managed charging or discharging control approach can be modeled to predict the impacts on individual vehicles, or at any grid scale. Battery degradation from driving or vehicle-grid services can be modeled with battery degradation models integrated into V2G-Sim. The model is scalable to simulate impacts and opportunities for any number of vehicles (from 1 to 1 million or more PEVs).

Overview of Tasks

Please also include tasks that LBNL will be helping with in Phase I and other phases.

Task 1: DER-CAM Integration and Testing (DOE Task 2.3 Managing and Optimizing Energy Storage)

This project will demonstrate the use of day-ahead optimization and supervisory control to plan and implement charging/discharging schedules for a system comprised of electric storage and photovoltaic cells connected to the wider grid at a demonstration location specified at the beginning of this project. The software platform will use forecasters to predict building load and insolation and leverage the LBNL-developed tool Operations DER-CAM to generate charging/discharging schedules that maximize the economic value of the system by reducing on-peak consumption and managing tariff demand charges. The platform will be constructed to communicate with the building SCADA in an automated fashion, thereby providing seamless delivery of instructions. A supervisory control algorithm will be developed to ensure that the local balance of supply and demand of electricity is maintained. We will identify architectures and customer engagement strategies in dynamic pricing DR transactions to generate a feedback of load flexibility profiles, status, and schedules. The research outcome of this project will be tested at one site in India, by using data obtained from the site and running developed algorithms. If the project side wishes to acquire our technologies, following the demonstration, separate license agreements will be discussed.

Task 1.1: Identify optimal DER services to maximize the value for local utility Task 1.2: Identify and validated daily/hourly DER dispatch utilizing IEDs Task 1.3: Assess economic benefits from optimal dispatch by the developed algorithm at the

designated test site Task 1.4: Integrate system level solution Task 1.5: Technology transfer and licensing

Task 2:DER-CAM , V2G Sim and CyDER Integration with Operations(DOE Task 2.9 Integrating DMS and DER control)

This project will develop and use the CyDER platform to reduce the evaluate dispatch and control scenarios for high penetration of distributed resources. CyDER will be the backbone that integrates all the technologies, communications, and control algorithms. We will ensure that it fulfills necessary grid requirements (e.g., maintains a specified voltage setpoint, limit power infeed, or power consumption to a specified level), which will simplify and accelerate the interconnection process from the utility side.

For the optimal dimensioning of the system, including storage, PV, and load management, we will use DER-CAM, an advanced optimization tool developed at Berkeley Lab. We will subsequently use a co-simulated CyDER/DER-CAM interface, a state-of-the-art co-simulation tool developed at Berkeley Lab to conduct simulations for several different scenarios of dispatch and optimization while accounting for distribution constraints and scenarios with real data and integrated advanced sensor analytics.

The platform will communicate with numerous sources, including to and from the utility operator, from the system operator (for example CAISO), to and from distributed energy resource planning with DER-CAM, and to and from devices themselves

LBNL will expand, test and demonstrate the highly modular and scalable tool by integrating the different simulation modules based on the Functional Mockup Interface, an industry-driven open-source standard that is supported by more than 50 tools. A simulation model exported in accordance with the FMI standard is referred to as Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU). The expansion of the work presented in this scope is to utilize these standards for integration of CyDER with operational and microgrid tool DER-CAM, and implement integration modules for data analytics focused around distribution PMU’s, validation, building, grid and inverter modules. This work will enable economic and multi scenario dispatch of resources, in addition to planning and operations analysis for distribution system. The system will be tested in scenarios up to 50% of PV penetration on a distribution feeder utilizing validated utility models.

Task 3: μPMU based Analytics & Design for Integration with Operational/Distribution Management System Tools(DOE Task 2.7 DSO Functions for Optimal Operation and Management of DER)

Task 3 will develop and report on analytics, enabled by μPMU technology. The team will, in the first phase of work, utilize simulated and existing datasets, and in the second and third phase, apply analytics around the integrated data. The team will support the development of system and sub-system requirements for operational integration of μPMU analytics with the Operational Product, lead and participate in the design and

Page 13: school.eecs.wsu.edu€¦  · Web viewUI-ASSIST. Texas A&M Statement of work. 2.3.2 . Storage sizing a. nd siting and optimization (TAMU-Singh, MIT, Panasonic) 2.3.2.1 Identification

development of PV and Distribution Grid State Estimation, real-time monitoring, and support the procurement and integration of μPMU measurements with a distribution management system tool. We are developing advanced supervisory and distributed algorithms for DER coordination that rely on μPMU measurements, other grid sensors and prior knowledge on grid status. The team will utilize empirical data to investigate different coordination schemes among multiple distributed energy resource units, and the potential for multiple devices at electrically independent nodes. In future work, installation of μPMUs at multiple substation locations would provide an invaluable data source for further microgrid and grid design research in this area, while providing operational data to assist with existing operations of the site, i.e. voltage variability, frequency, and angle stability information could be provided to the device controller, or general electrical operations team for improving performance.

Support the development of field test requirements and utility distribution system planning and integration. Support the evaluation and reporting of the technical and economic performance of the solution. The co- simulation platform will be developed to integrate with the operational tool at the systems layer. Modules will be developed in FMI, to enable utility planning model communication with feeder reconfiguration, sensors and model validation including advancements in topology and phase identification. Co-simulation framework developed in the tool will be extended in this task to allow for fast operational analysis and validation of utility data and decision making with high penetration of PV.

Task 3.1: Guidance on purchase, installation and data collection from μPMUs Task 3.2: Data characterization and event detection application integration Task 3.3: Specific application data analysis and integration for component level models Task 3.4: Operational Integration of Analytics Task 3.5: Benefits Assessment

Task 4: Storage Selection Analysis(DOE Task 2.2 Modeling and Prototyping Energy Storage)Storage selection for the grid of the future is different than it is today, mainly because the supply of energy will be less predictable as more renewables are put online. And although, today, the load is fairly erratic, the variability is over seconds and within a certain band that is fairly constant day in and day out. The problem with the variability of renewables is that the change can be over seconds, hours, days, and months. These time constants require a new strategy for deciding on how to best supply a consistent and reliable source of energy while limiting the use of non-renewable carbon based fuels and while simultaneously maintaining present day costs. We propose to quantify the energy storage requirements for different levels of renewables brought online and provide guidance on the types of energy storage that might best fit those needs.

4.1Analyze the energy storage needs for a given set of applications.4.2Establish energy storage size requirements.4.3 Identify possible energy storage solutions.4.4Estimate the levelized cost of electricity based on different storage technologies.

Task 5: Lab Testing and Validation(DOE Task 3)

For this task, LBNL will communicate and work with the leads of the tasks who perform lab testing and validation. The goals of the LBNL’s tasks are to modify the models developed in the previous tasks during the lab testing period when necessary, and provide guidance in the overall lab testing procedure to ensure consistency in the models and functionalities developed in both software and lab environments.

Task 6: Impact Analysis and Policy Recommendation(DOE Task 5)

This task is to study various impacts the project will bring to the electric industry sector and society in general. The studies conducted will guide certain policy and regulatory changes to be brought by the concerned

Page 14: school.eecs.wsu.edu€¦  · Web viewUI-ASSIST. Texas A&M Statement of work. 2.3.2 . Storage sizing a. nd siting and optimization (TAMU-Singh, MIT, Panasonic) 2.3.2.1 Identification

government bodies in US and India for large-scale deployment of such systems. Some of the analysis identified by the lead of this task includes

1) Impact on system performance such as peak load reduction, energy saving.

7) Suggesting suitable DSO model in the Indian as well as US context.

8) Technical due-diligence of energy storage at mini grids and microgrids. Eventually the proof-of-concept and benchmarking will be established.

LBNL will provide guidance and feedback on this task to ensure the policy and regulatory recommendations are consistent with the results of the analysis, testing, and validations performed by LBNL in the previous tasks.

Links to deliverables and timeline is needed following format.Also, LBNL will attend workshop organized by UI-ASSIST team and contribute towards report for each quarter as well as yearly report.
