Abstract

This report presents a scoping study for networked microgrids which are defined as "Interoperable groups of multiple Advanced Microgrids that become an integral part of the electricity grid while providing enhanced resiliency through self-healing, aggregated ancillary services, and real-time communication." They result in optimal electrical system configurations and controls whether grid-connected or in islanded modes and enable high penetrations of distributed and renewable energy resources. The vision for the purpose of this document is: "Networked microgrids seamlessly integrate with the electricity grid or other Electric Power Sources (EPS) providing cost effective, high quality, reliable, resilient, self-healing power delivery systems."

Networked Microgrids Scoping Study

Technical Report Starke, Michael

While the utilization of a microgrid for local power reliability during grid outage and emergencies is a well-known benefit, the integration of microgrids with the broader electrical distribution system will allow for seamless interaction with distribution system operations, contributing to resource and economic optimization, enhanced reliability and resiliency, and improved power quality. By virtue of integration with the distribution system, multiple microgrids should be networked and collectively known as networked microgrids. As a follow-up to the work conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory on a microgrid controller [the Complete System-level Efficient and Interoperable Solution for Microgrid Integrated Controls (CSEISMIC)], themore »« less

Multi-layered Resilient Microgrid Networks

Other Ishchenko, Dmitry

Distribution grid resilience, especially when the grid is under high penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), e.g. PV and energy storage, is essential to ensure the quality of electric power services. The resiliency aspect is particularly important for critical loads that typically include hospitals, police/fire stations, and national security facilities. Networks of multiple interconnected reconfigurable microgrids help to increase renewable energy penetration and may be used as basic building blocks for implementing future resilient power grids. However, this integration requires additional layers of communications, both horizontal and vertical, which may substantially increase the potential cyber attack surfaces as well asmore »« less

Management of Risk and Uncertainty Through Optimized Co-Operation of Transmission Systems and Microgrids With Responsive Loads (Final Report)

Technical Report Anderson, C.; Cardell, Judith

The evolution of the power system to the reliable, efficient and sustainable system of the future will involve development of both demand- and supply-side technology and operations. Ambitious national and state-level goals around the decarbonization of electricity relies on the integration of very high levels of renewable resources, most of which are variable and intermittent. The use of demand response is an ideal approach to counterbalance the intermittency of renewable generation and brings the consumer into the spotlight. Though individual consumers are interconnected at the low-voltage distribution system, these resources are typically modeled as variables at the transmission network level.more »« less

Microgrid's Role in Enhancing the Security and Flexibility of City Energy Systems

Book Mishra, Sakshi; Kwasnik, Ted; Anderson, Katherine; ...

Smart cities depend on flexible and secure energy systems to ensure resilient power for critical infrastructure; however, recent weather-related events and cyberattacks have highlighted weaknesses in our energy systems, with the potential for widespread economic and security impacts. As stated by the Executive Office of the President, "the resilience of the US electric grid is a key part of the nation's defense against severe weather." To address the energy delivery security challenge, microgrids are rising as a viable solution that enhances the flexibility and resilience of the distribution grid and boosts the reliability of the local supply for the end-user.more »« less

Topology-Agnostic, Scalable, Self-Healing, and Cost-Aware Protection of Microgrids

Journal Article Gadde, Phani; Brahma, Sukumar - IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery

Most microgrid protection schemes found in published literature suffer from a lack of generality in that they work well for the assumed topology, including type and placement of sources. Other generic protection schemes tend to be too complicated, too expensive, or both. To overcome these draw- backs, a topology-agnostic, scalable, and cost-aware protection based on fundamental principles that work in the presence of high penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) is developed and tested in this paper. Here, the protection system also implements stable automatic reconfiguration of the healthy sections of the system after clearance of fault, thus increasing resilience bymore »« less
