Smart Grid R&D Focus Areas in FY 2016

Resilient Electric Grid R&D

For enhanced grid resilience

Implement high-priority R&D projects identified in the resilient grid plan developed in a broad stakeholder workshop in 2014; support implementation of the “Security and Resilience” technical area described in the Grid Modernization MYPP.

Microgrid R&D

For commercial viability, reliability, and resiliency Continue R&D pathway to support achieving the DOE program goals (in reliability, efficiency, CO2 reduction, and cost effectiveness) and implementing the DOE CAP strategy, leading to creating a smarter and more resilient grid and community.

Market-Based Control Signals Enabling economical and flexible stability

Develop simulation tools for the impact of transactive control, establish valuation basis for customer-delivered and grid-delivered energy services, and assess how to achieve a more distributed customer-driven grid.

Advanced Distribution

Management System (ADMS) Providing better control and visibility

Develop open-architecture and standards-based approach to allow interoperable operations of all current and new distribution utility applications; enhance observability and controllability of electric distribution operations through advanced sensors, controls, and data analytics.

Microgrid Value Proposition

Microgrid Applications

Enabling integration of distributed energy resources

Smoothing of intermittent and variable resources

Peak-shaving and provision of other grid services (i.e., ancillary

services, demand response)

Intentional islanding for safety and reliability

Enhance local reliability and power quality

Energy surety during outages and emergency conditions

Arbitrage of energy price differentials

Multiple Objectives

Environmental

Economic

Reliability

Maximizes electricity produced and consumed from renewable resources to reduce overall emissions

Responds to real-time changes in electricity prices to minimize total energy and operational costs

Serves as a grid resource in grid-connected mode and switches to island mode upon detecting a contingency

Resilience & Security

Ensures that critical loads can be served for sustained periods of time during and after catastrophic events

New Projects on Networked Microgrids

Multiple microgrids in a mutually reinforcing, power-sharing network with the main grid

Scoping study (to be completed in 2016) will guide development of the research call for new projects.

Develop network interface and internal control schemes for microgrids (mixed systems / different microgrid integrators) within the open source ADMS context. The objective will be to optimize each individual microgrid’s performance (controller) while meeting the overall network optimization requirements (interface) established under an ADMS environment. (multi-objective, dynamic, stochastic optimization)
