This paper presents an implementation of an IEC 61850-based real-time co-simulation platform for verification of the performance of a volt-VAR optimization (VVO) engine for smart distribution networks. The proposed VVO engine is able to minimize grid loss, volt-VAR control asset operational costs, and conservation voltage reduction operational costs through its comprehensive objective functions, weighted...
This paper presents a flexible Hardware in the Loop (HiL) platform for testing and validation of protection schemes based on distributed intelligence provided by Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). The IEDs communicate with one another in both peer-peer communication mode and in client-server mode for implementing the complete protection scheme. In particular the platform supports IEC 61850 Generic...
With the proportion of de-centralized energy resources (DERs) in power networks on the increase and active consumer participation in energy exchanges becoming common, the automation of power grids needs to become distributed, fast and reliable. Such advanced automation schemes require seamless communication between Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) within a substation and the IEDs of remote Distributed...
In this paper a novel Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) algorithm based on the Multi-Agent System (MAS) concept is introduced and implemented. This algorithm is designed for active smart distribution grids by leveraging the DG-assisted service restoration functionality. A hierarchical MAS architecture is proposed wherein the agents are configured to support the IEC 61850 Generic...
This paper presents a novel Distributed FLISR algorithm that uses Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) configured to communicate the status changes and the measurements with one another using IEC 61850 GOOSE messages. Evaluation of the performance of the algorithm requires real-time simulation; therefore, a modular real time test platform using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) and IEDs supporting...
In response to the EU Mandate M/490, two crucial tools were developed for supporting the standardization of the Smart Grid: the Smart Architecture Model (SGAM) framework and the Use Case Methodology. This paper shows and exemplifies the use of these tools to incrementally develop the automation architecture for future active distribution power systems, by leveraging on existing automation architectures...
