Practical Interoperability of DER with Utility and Market

Practical Interoperability of DER with Utility and Market Systems Real Life Interoperability Solutions for Distributed Energy Resources • Stuart Mc. Cafferty, Grid. Intellect Founder

DER Solution Architecture Methodology Example Practical use of mapping IEEE 2030. 5 to the Energy. Io. T Reference Architecture to rapidly develop high level DER solution architectures.

Developing Rapid DER Solution Architectures What? Why? • Use case driven design • Simple visual architectural representation • Layered architecture • The “beginning” of in-depth architecture work • It’s quick! ~30 minutes • Easy to collaborate or build on your own • Easy to communicate to all skill levels • No need for specialized tools • High level visualization for: Example Use Case Residential behind-the-meter DER interoperability with utility operations systems and automated interconnect process • Where architectural elements reside • On prem, in the cloud, in a cloud platform, at the edge • Interfaces and dependencies • Communication methods

Step 1: Create a Layered Template 2030. 5 Utility Server Business Services Layer Domain Layers Energy. Io. T Architectural Elements 2030. 5 DER Aggregator Energy Services Layer 2030. 5 Gateway Edge Physical OT Layer

Step 2: Identify Associated Energy. Io. T Subdomains and Elements 2030. 5 Utility Server Business Services Layer 2030. 5 DER Aggregator Energy Services Layer 2030. 5 Gateway Edge Physical OT Layer

Step 3: Fill-in Additional Architectural and Functional Details DER Visibility & Situational Awareness Power Flow Modeling & Simulation DER Services Event Management Customer Program Participants Operational & Financial Optimization Interconnect Data Asset Registry 2030. 5 Utility Server Business Services Layer DER Groupings (VPP) Dispatch Scheduling DER Registry & Availability Interconnect Automated Workflow Customer Participation Opt-Out Data Event Performance Data Customer Program Participants DER Discovery Residential Customer Portal Customer Participation Prediction Event Performance Prediction DER Gateway Locations & Demographics 2030. 5 DER Aggregator MQTT HTTPS Energy Services Layer Gateway Installation Application Gateway Device Home Energy Managemen t System (EMS) HTTPS Distributed Generation Controllable Loads 2030. 5 Gateway Edge Physical OT Layer Energy Storage Electric Vehicles Metering

Step 4 and Beyond: Create Supporting Architectural Drawings 7
