Task:
- Propose a concept for a Lab which supports researchers in the area of self-organizing smart grids
- State the relevant resources (software, hardware, installations) which would be needed for such a lab.
Group 2
Name: EMMMA (Wil, Martina, Marc, Manfred, Anna)
- server running central services for various applications (~ 10k€)
- a number of workstations (~ 5k€)
- tablet computers (10 k€)
- model miniatures of a town with interactive buttons (10 k€)
- real-time HIL power system (RTDS)
- Reference installation "Office Setup" (5 k€)
- Wind turbine, photovoltaic system, batteries (25 k€)
- Reference loads (5 k€)
- Software (Smart metering, Labview, ect.) (price strongly depends on license type)
Group 3
- Participants: Johannes, Andrea, Sven, Oliver, Astrid
Users of the SG lab
- Sensor networks people, distributed system people, ...
- computer scientists interested in the control and communication level of Smart Grids
What do they use it for?
Evolve our approaches & convince power systems people that our approaches perform well in the actual power system in place
We need ...
Abstraction layer to speed up deployment to field trials / component or system focussed testing labs
Grid Simulation or real grid components?
Simulation: commercial? To some extent, e.g. we could use PowerFactory
Time scale
- Several seconds
- Quasi-static grid simulation
Concept
- Evaluate different communication technologies and protocols to see how appropriate they would be for self-organisation approaches in the Smart Grid
--> Emulation platform (Hardware-in-the-loop)
- Understand dynamics in such a system, get to know the main problems
--> Get the sensor data/simulation results in the needed resolution
- Verify simulations: Close enough to reality: hardware
- Evaluate grid & component coordination
- Real time requirements?
- Easily switch between coordination approaches (conventional / self-organised / hierarchical) to evaluate their performance
--> Layered concept with defined interfaces
Group 4
- Participants:
Goal of the Lab
- Test whether self-organising solutions can help in:
- achieving better performance
- mastering complexity in control
- robustness of the overall system
- The long-term goal of the lab is providing tools for live-testing of self-organising solutions
More in practice
- produce hardware/software tools and
social systems to be deployed to prosumers
- must be accepted by users
- must be allowed by providers
Interdisciplinary
- Electrical Engineering
- Informatics
- Information Technology
- Physics
- Sociology
- Economics
The Perfect Lab
- Provide both simulation tools and experimental platforms
- Seamless transition from simulation to the physical apparatuses and back
The Setup of the Lab
- Simulation platform
- portable language
- modular
- characterised against physical devices and realistic user behaviour
- Need a cluster computing service for parallel simulation
The Setup of the Lab
- Playground lab for testing the tools
- Simulating a single household
- Field tests households (about 20)
