2. Refinement phaseMain achievements – Use cases objectives and boundaries

Use case 1

Demonstration of secure and effective connection of commercial home energy boxes with public DSO meters. In particular in terms of:- Enabling HAN side energy consumption data collection- Enabling connection between DSO smart meter and the TI smart gateway- Ensuring data privacy- Ability to schedule domestic loads

Main progresses

- Objectives and boundaries of UC1 agreed with TI and the consortium- Advanced list of physical tests to be carried out for UC1 to be issued by TI by the 18 th of

September and showed during the review meeting

Next phases

- Start with the implementation phase


Use case 2Demonstration of the effectiveness of balancing and optimization at district/neighbourhood level as an alternative to traditional centralized optimization. This use case will focus on the optimization at more local level (i.e. between two or few more energy boxes) to demonstrate the potential benefits of such a local energy management to DSOs. Due to this decentralized and small-scale approach, the use case will only rely on physical tests to be carried out in LAB and ENGIE facilities and on implementation of MAS optimization at such low level (If needed it will also rely on simulations of very small portion of the LV grid). The aim is to verify, based on real data, how these local areas can adapt to varying external conditions by simple interaction between energy boxes and enhanced demand side management. In this scenario the DSO provides the inputs/objectives of the local optimization (e.g. reduction of the peak at a certain time) according to some specific user stories. However in UC2 these user stories do not take into consideration aspects related to the actual energy market and regulations and to the conflicting objectives of final customers and DSOs. These and other aspects related to the complex relationships between grid actors and the consequent benefits & effects on the global optimization process will be properly taken into account in Use case 3.

Main progresses

- Objectives and boundaries of UC2 agreed with ENGIE and the consortium- Advanced list of physical tests to be carried out for UC2 to be discussed during GA issued by ENGIE

by the 18th of September to be showed during the review meeting

Next phases- Finalise list of physical tests for UC2- Start with the implementation phase


Use case 3Use case 3 can be considered as an extension of UC2, aiming at demonstrating the benefits of local district management at LV grid level (including more district/neighbourhoods) and with the collaboration of the DSO and other actors of the grid to the optimization process. Also, the scenario will take into consideration the complex relationships between grid actors, the existing energy markets in the various countries and the related constraints, trying to define a framework in which actors can successfully coexist and the objectives of the project can be achieved (this framework includes the introduction of new actors and services). In particular use case 3 will attempt to overcome the issue related to the antagonistic objectives of final customers (that want to pay less) and DSO (that want to reduce losses and consumption). Due to the greater complexity of such a scenario, this will only rely on simulations to assess the effectiveness of such an approach. However, while the simulations will demonstrate the technical feasibility of such a mechanism, the economic viability will be analysed in parallel based on the results of the simulations (reduction in grid losses, increased renewable hosting capacity, increased reliability, etc.) and the market constraints of the proposed scenario.

Main progresses

- Objectives and boundaries of UC3 agreed with all partners (SMS, LAB & CEA in particular)- Data production & simulation activities refined- Advanced list of simulations to be carried out for UC3 to be discussed during GA and issued by LAB by

the 18th of September to be showed during the review meeting

Next phases- Finalise list of physical tests for UC2- Start with the implementation phase

2. Refinement phaseMain achievements – UC3: Profiles production

Standard profiles provided by UK DNO

Diversification of standard grid profiles

Production of projected profiles

Data includes, for 6 substations:

- Average daily load profiles of different categories of users (HH granularity) referred to typical weekday, Saturday & Sunday of 5 periods of the year (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer, High Summer);

- Annual consumption (kWh/y) of each individual user of the grid.

Each user of the grid will be characterised by an individual load profile.

The aggregation of the diversified load profiles will correspond to the profiles provided by DSO to keep consistency.

Standard grid profile will be affected by the penetration of smart grid technologies.

The production of the consequent projected profiles will rely on scenarios based on UK National grid’s studies.

Scenarios will be driven by project’s objective (at least one) and then iterated if required.

2. Refinement phaseMain achievements – UC3: Grid models production

Standard grid data provided by UK DNO Projected grid

Data includes, for the 6 substations:

- Details of cables (type and size)- Details of transformers- All other relevant features of the LV

grid

The grid layout of the projected grid will stay the same of the reference standard grid, but will include new district users and Link Boxes

Also, domestic users will be characterised with RES smart appliances.

Definition of projected grid will be based again on the scenarios based on UK National Grid’s studies.

Data will be translated into LV grid schematics and/or inserted into more

usable data collection templates.

Data will be used to create a model of the standard grid using

Grid-LAB D

Data will be used to create a model of the projected grid

using Grid-LAB D

2. Refinement phaseMain achievements – Smart Grid Simulations

The MAS is used to optimise use of smart grid’s elements according to external varying conditions and objectives of the optimization.

• Projected profiles for each node

• Forecasted information (price of electricity, renewable generation, etc.)

• Available flexibility• Objective of the

optimization

MAS optimises use of the smart grid’s elements and provides updated profiles

Profiles are used into electrical simulation to check that grid statutory limits and physical constraints are always met at all nodes.

Every time additional information is provided the process starts again

Final profiles for each time step are recorded for assessment (T6.2)

Grid physical constraints are part of the optimization

3. Implementation phase

Initial activities

The implementation phase is about to start:

- Tasks related to implementation of physical tests will start after the end of the refinement phase (end of September 2015).

- Tasks related to the data production activities have already started with the obtainment of DSOs data for the UK grid. Data is in the process to be anonymised and made available to the consortium (18th September 2015). After that, the activities related to the diversification of standard profiles and the creation of projected profiles will start. Also the creation of a model of the standard grid in Grid Lab D will start.
