This paper presents a flexible connection concept and planning studies required for its piloting in a transmission system. The proposed concept utilizes a short-term rating of power system components and operational flexibility of market-based resources. In case of congestion, the short-term rating of power system components provides inherent technical flexibility. This allows a time frame to utilize active power control of flexible resources to maintain system security. The active power control of flexible resources is activated on-demand through a redispatching order at the balancing market. The proposed method enables rapid and cost-efficient grid integration of renewable energy resources without physical grid reinforcements while providing an increase in liquidity into the balancing market. This paper presents more in detail the planning perspective to prove the technical feasibility of the concept and to enable a pilot project rollout in the Finnish transmission system.

In this paper we address the optimal operation of an energy community, which receives an incentive for the self-consumption realized at the community level in each time period. This incentive scheme mimics the one adopted for renewable energy communities in Italy since 2020. The operational problem is formulated as the maximization of the social welfare of the community over a given time horizon. The social welfare includes the incentive. Each entity of the community can encompass loads, generators, and battery energy storage systems. The optimization problem computes the battery charging/discharging policies, and the set points of flexible loads and controllable generators. The resulting problem formulation is non-convex, due to the presence of complementarity constraints. This issue is tackled by deriving an equivalent mixed integer linear programming formulation. A toy example and an application with real consumption, generation, and price data, are reported to illustrate the proposed approach.

This contribution provides the implementation of a digital twin-based assistance system to be used in future control rooms. By applying parameter estimation methods, the dynamic model in the digital twin is an accurate representation of the physical system. Therefore, a dynamic security assessment (DSA) that is highly dependent on a correctly parameterized dynamic model, can give more reliable information to a system operator in the control room. The assistance system is studied on the Cigré TB 536 benchmark system with an obscured set of machine parameters. Through the proposed parameter estimation approach the original parameters could be estimated, changing, and increasing the statement of the DSA in regard to imminent instabilities.

This paper provides insights into the development and application of coupling power system models within different simulation domains (phasor and instantaneous values) in a multi-instance manner using Co-Simulation. Overcoming the challenge of integrating a PSCAD modeled modular multilevel converter into the transient stability test model known as Nordic Test System, the Co-Simulation interface development and implementation process is laid out. Hybrid simulations are performed to verify the model and to investigate grid stabilizing effects of the converter in the RMS power system model. Results prove to the Co-Simulation to be a viable option, practically eliminating the need to re-model an existing EMT subsystem for this kind of studies.

With the recent progress in smart grid applications, home energy management system has increased its importance since it allows prosumers to be active participants of the system operation. Operating the smart grid in an efficient way without having a contingency issue has become paramount. The uncertainty of the system inputs, such as renewable energy and load consumption, with the effect of dynamic user behavior, brings the necessity of a more complex control system. In this paper, we introduce three different Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms to minimize the operational cost in the long run and keep the battery state of charge (SoC) between the operable limits. The idea behind applying three different DRLs is to present the powerful and weak sides of the DQN, DDPG, and TD3 algorithms in terms of solving a management problem, even with the continuous state and action space for longer horizons. Experimental results show that the proposed RL algorithms can be employed to solve this and similar management problems. These show that DRL algorithms promise to solve even more complex problems with their uncertainties, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will reach an optimal solution.

Future local energy trading schemes represent an important economic incentive for inclusion of distributed energy resources (DER) and flexibility in local energy communities. Nonetheless, trading schemes at the low voltage level are envisioned to result in unattended bids and offers of energy. In the absence of an alternative, these leftovers are expected to be captured by the supplier at a low price (in case of excess energy) and at a high price (in the case of energy requirements), which can represent significant economic benefits. This paper proposes a decentralised offline trading method to transfer this benefit from the supplier to the local energy communities using a minimum electrical distance criterion. Validation is made by running a year-long quasi-static time-series (QSTS) simulation with a resolution of one minute, using PV generation profiles, and four state-of-the-art DER allocation methods in the IEEE 33bus distribution test network. Results suggest that transferring these benefits can increase incomes up to 227% and decrease expenses up to 6.1% for local energy communities. Additionally, the sensitivity of the method to energy prices and market time step is studied.

Demand side management (DSM) has become one of the most effective methods to enhance and improve power system flexibility and stability, which are challenged by high operational variability and uncertainty of modern and future power systems. However, by manipulating load consumption patterns and compositions, DSM can be considered as a disturbance, and it may endanger system stability when the system is transferring from pre-DSM to post-DSM operating points. The paper illustrates system transient behaviour following a DSM deployment using a Monte Carlo simulation based probabilistic analysis. It also demonstrates advantages of applying time delays between DSM actions as a potential mitigating solution. By emphasising the importance of the transient period following the actual deployment (connection or disconnection of demand) of DSM for overall system angular and frequency stability, it contributes to better planning and implementation of DSM in power systems. All simulations have been performed in a mixed Matlab and DigSilent/PowerFactory environment and illustrated using a modified version of the IEEE 68-bus test system.

This paper proposes a novel strategy for adaptive autonomous identification of subgrids in medium voltage (MV) smart grids. The algorithm is based on machine learning. In contrast to a intended islanding of grids, the term subgrid describes a subordinate energy system of indeterminate size, which is physically isolated from the interconnected grid and continues to operate after disconnection. This process takes place outside the control of the distribution system operator. Due to the risks for people and equipment, subgrids must be identified reliably and quickly in order to disconnect them from the power supply. With the purpose of executing the subgrid identification strategy (SIS) in a scalable manner in future MV smart grids, a novel engineering process based on a virtualisation of smart grid services has been developed.

The Greek power system is facing significant changes as the government’s policy is focused on an energy transition aligned with the European Union future plans by implementing comprehensive reforms in the energy sector to drive decarbonization, increase the share of renewable power plants and foster competitive markets. This transition is expected to create significant challenges to the operation of the future Greek power system. In this context, a Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC) System is developed that is expected to serve as a useful tool for monitoring and controlling the steady and dynamic state of the power grid. Fifteen (15) time synchronized phasor measurement units are currently being installed in critical locations to gather data and online transmit them to phasor data concentrators in order to be used by the WAMPAC system. Moreover, a holistic design approach is adopted for the WAMPAC system with various protection and control services that aim to deal with the expected upcoming challenges. Overall, in this paper the developed augmented WAMPAC design approach and implementation is thoroughly described in order to serve as a roadmap for future power systems.
