Abstract

There has been a buzz around increased grid modernization for more than a decade. Grid modernization includes, but is not limited to, upgrades to the grid to enhance reliability, resilience, security, and access to clean energy sources. One significant change that has been happening in this context is the increased penetration of computing power and controlled devices like power electronics in the power grid. As this change happens, the operation and characteristics of the power grid are set to undergo a significant change. The power grid moves from an older electric machine dominated grid that used analog electronics for controls to a power electronics dominated grid that uses digital computing for controls. As this transition happens, there are significant problems of applied mathematics that will need to be resolved in power electronics and power grid. The problems include the ability to simulate in different timescales, while also leveraging the significantly improved computing capabilities available today. In this paper, the challenges related to simulation of power electronics are discussed and the challenge problems laid down that applied mathematics may help resolve in future.

Protection and Restoration Solutions to Reliable and Resilient Integration of Grid-connected PV Installations and Distributed Energy Resources: Design, Testbed, Proof of Work and Impact Studies (Final Report)

Technical Report Jiang, John

To gain a better understanding of the complex transients in a utility grid with a large number of solar PV installations coupled by PWM inverters during the protection and restoration period of the power grid, in this project a kW-level experimental system with dominating inverter-based resources and a hardware-in-loop simulation system with transmission and distribution models, as well as several SEL protective relays have been built and used. The major research findings of the project are summarized below in two perspectives: Experimental research: A self-organized ultra-high frequency solitary waveform is discovered and demonstrated in the hardware experimental system.

The Applied Mathematics for Power Systems (AMPS)

Technical Report Chertkov, Michael

Increased deployment of new technologies, e.g., renewable generation and electric vehicles, is rapidly transforming electrical power networks by crossing previously distinct spatiotemporal scales and invalidating many traditional approaches for designing, analyzing, and operating power grids. This trend is expected to accelerate over the coming years, bringing the disruptive challenge of complexity, but also opportunities to deliver unprecedented efficiency and reliability. Our Applied Mathematics for Power Systems (AMPS) Center will discover, enable, and solve emerging mathematics challenges arising in power systems and, more generally, in complex engineered networks. We will develop foundational applied mathematics resulting in rigorous algorithms and simulation toolboxesmore »« less

Applied & Computational MathematicsChallenges for the Design and Control of Dynamic Energy Systems

Technical Report Brown, D; Burns, J; Collis, S; ...

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) was passed with the goal 'to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security.' Energy security and independence cannot be achieved unless the United States addresses the issue of energy consumption in the building sector and significantly reduces energy consumption in buildings. Commercial and residential buildings account for approximately 40% of the U.S. energy consumption and emit 50% of CO{sub 2} emissions in the U.S. which is more than twice the total energy consumption of the entire U.S. automobile and light truck fleet. A 50%-80% improvement in building energymore »« less

Playas Grid Reliability and Distributed Energy Research

Technical Report Romero, Van; Weinkauf, Don; Khan, Mushtaq; ...

The future looks bright for solar and renewable energies in the United States. Recent studies claim that by 2050, solar power could supply a third of all electricity demand in the country’s western states. Technology advances, soft policy changes, and increased energy consciousness will all have to happen to achieve this goal. The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) perform various training and research activities at this site. Given its unique nature, Playas was chosen to test Micro-Grids and other examples of renewable distributed energy resources (DER). Several proposed distributed energymore »« less
