INTEGRAL Integrated ICT Platform for Distributed Control in

INTEGRAL: Integrated ICT Platform for Distributed Control in Electricity Grids Hans Akkermans INTEGRAL Project Team http: //www. integral-eu. com INTEGRAL ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 1

The INTEGRAL Project • • Duration: 3. 5 years, started November 2007 Budget: 5. 3 M€, EU contribution 2. 6 M€ Effort: 425 personmonths Partners INTEGRAL ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 2

Integrated ICT-platform based Distributed Control (IIDC) INTEGRAL objective: An integrated ICT platform for large-scale distributed control of DER Key outcome: • Industry-quality reference solution – – Reference implementation Technical specs Technology for large-scale distributed control, coordination and optimization Service-oriented Information Architecture • Based on commonly available ICT components and standards • Field validated (under normal, critical, and emergency conditions) INTEGRAL ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 3

Common Control Concept is aimed at (different network tasks and time scales) Market • Adopting theory of economics • Agents competing with one another INTEGRAL Power Control • System should handle local processes as well global • Agents cooperating in order to achieve goal ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 Protection • Solution should be fast • Sub-optimal solution allowed • Agents cooperating to prepare grid parts to be switched off 4

Field test C: Emergency Conditions & Self-Healing Capabilities • F: Grenoble DER, Urban/industrial, Rural grid cells, + PREDIS analysis & control facility for DER Reduced ratio: power: 30 k. VA/30 MVA Voltage: 400 V/20 k. V INTEGRAL ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 5

Field Test B: Grid Stability under Critical Conditions • ES/GR: extended microgrid with variety of DER devices INTEGRAL ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 6

Field Test A: Normal Operation & Commercial Balancing NL: > 100 DER/RES devices in dozens of family houses and various other buildings, run as VPP INTEGRAL ADDRESS Workshop, Paris 09 June 2010 7
