Abstract

Modern electric power distribution systems are data rich and include growing numbers of distributed energy resources and distribution automation. To take advantage of distribution automation and manage growing penetrations of distributed energy resources, distribution utilities need applications for planning and operations that use all available data and may incorporate distributed approaches to operations and control. The industry would benefit from distribution management applications based on a common platform that makes systems of each type interchangeable. In this paper, we describe an approach to enabling cost-effective development and deployment of advanced applications for distribution system planning and operations based on development of an open-source, standards-based platform for application development called GridAPPS-D, which leverages data abstractions for application development based on standards such as the distribution system common information model (CIM).

Modeling Environment for Testing a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) Using GridAPPS-D Platform

Journal Article Poudel, Shiva ; Keene, Sean J. ; Kini, Roshan L. ; ... - IEEE Access

The electric power system is currently undergoing a major transition due to growing numbers of distributed energy resources (DERs) and increased distribution automation. If optimally managed and operated, DERs could provide flexibility and highly valuable grid services such as restoration, peak shaving, voltage regulation, and frequency support to maintain grid reliability. Different applications and enterprises, such as distributed energy resources management systems (DERMS), are being developed for coordinated and optimal operation of DERs. However, to attract sufficient DER participation and achieve the coordinated operation of DERs, systems and components must be interoperable and information exchange must be secure.

Validation of Power Distribution Models using Load Flow Analysis in an ADMS Environment

Conference Poudel, Shiva ; Black, Gary D. ; Reiman, Andrew P.

Electric utilities are facing the need for better monitoring, analysis, and control of their distribution systems. An accurate mathematical model is a key to both the development of cutting-edge, scalable model-based algorithms and the assessment of emerging technologies such as distributed energy resources (DER) for grid planning and operation. However, the constantly evolving nature of power distribution systems poses challenges to maintaining accurate models. In this paper, we propose a novel load flow based approach to validate power distribution models. Networked equipment models described according to the Common Information Model (CIM) standard and a measurement model are used to formulatemore »« less

GridAPPS-D™ a distribution management platform to develop applications for rural electric utilities

Conference Melton, Ronald B. ; Schneider, Kevin P. ; Vadari, Subramanian V.

Rural electric utilities, many of which operate with a co-op management approach, have unique operational challenges not shared with their municipal or IOU counterparts. Rural electric utilities typically have fewer customers per feeder mile, and are generally less able to afford the costs, or provide robust support for today’s Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) offerings. Additionally, co-ops typically do not need the full suite of ADMS offerings but would benefit from a subset of applications such as OMS, Unbalanced Power-Flow, Volt-VAR optimization and FLISR (Fault Location Isolation and Service Restoration). Their needs, even within these applications, are simpler and moremore »« less

PipeSight: A High-Performance Computing Platform for Pipeline Integrity Management

Technical Report Spring, Daniel ; Panzarella, Charles ; Stenta, Aaron ; ...

The Phase I feasibility study completed as part of this project has led to a number of innovative technologies being developed and has laid the foundation for a successful Phase II effort to commercialize a platform for managing the integrity of pipelines for the damage mechanisms of the new, hybrid-energy based economy. To ground the development efforts and direction of the project, an extensive market research and customer discovery effort was undertaken early in Phase I. Through this effort, a number of pipeline owners and operators were interviewed, and the following key findings were discovered about the pipeline industry: •more »« less

A Data Exchange Interface for a Standards Based Data Integration Platform

Conference Singh, Alka ; Fisher, Andrew R. ; Allwardt, Craig H. ; ...

The modern electrical grid is a complex and a data rich system, requiring several sub-systems to provide the capability and support needed to perform functions such as distributed energy resource management, outage management, and fault location and isolation, to name a few. There is a need to develop software solutions and platforms that provide an integrated infrastructure to allow interoperability between these subsystems, while leveraging the abundant data available from today’s grid. In this paper, we present the development and deployment of an application service to integrate GridAPPS-D which is an open source, standards-based software platform with SurvalentONE, a commonlymore »« less
