Enhanced grid operation and optimized PV penetration utilizing highly distributed sensor data
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This task describes R&D activities to establish methods to cost-effectively achieve very high PV penetration scenarios (well beyond 100% of peak load at the feeder level) by leveraging distributed inverters to increase situational awareness and provide local voltage support. The grid performance and reliability objectives (SI vision) of this proposal were selected to enhance feeder planning models that can better characterize and quantify the electric power system including the secondary system servicing customers. The Communication objective was selected to demonstrate how visibility and control of behind-the-meter systems and distributed storage at large scale can be optimized to address system reliability and variability impacts, and to maximize the value of solar in high PV penetration scenarios. The goal of this project was to achieve enhanced grid operation and optimized PV penetration utilizing highly distributed sensor data via three subtasks 1.1-1.3.
