The team prepared an IT test strategy document draft that is being reviewed by the stakeholders:

a. Bronzeville Community Microgrid IT Test Strategy, Version 1.0

This IT Test Strategy outlines key elements of the Bronzeville Community Microgrid (BCM) IT testing methodology to help guide the BCM testing team through each phase of testing. The goal of the Test Strategy is to ensure that the MGMS, supporting

Exhibit A (PUBLIC)ComEd Phase I ReportPage 8 of 20

Page 9: Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR-1)

DE-EE0007166 Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd)

Page 9 of 20

applications and field devices are delivered per design specifications, meet established quality criteria and perform as expected.

The Test Strategy describes the testing portion of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It informs the project team about the testing process, which includes the testing objective, methods of testing new functions, high-level timelines, resources requirements, and policies and processes for conducting various testing activities.

This Test Strategy covers testing policies and processes to support the various BCM project test types and phases. It primarily addresses BCM testing that involves IT Real Time (IT RT) testing, and also captures other BCM testing to provide a complete picture of BCM end-to-end testing.

The BCM testing process is designed to ensure all BCM hardware and software systems operate as intended, including interfaces to field devices and enterprise systems. Given the need for BCM systems to island specific loads within the BCM footprint and serve those loads during a primary grid outage, the testing approach must provide a capability to evaluate all functional capabilities that cannot be tested with traditional real-time testing environments and processes. Specifically, typical system and integration testing methods cannot support the need to test Microgrid Management System (MGMS) functionalities and use cases that would actuate grid devices. Therefore, ComEd is leveraging a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system at its Grid Integration and Technology lab to simulate grid conditions and test MGMS functional capabilities that cannot be tested elsewhere without impacting grid operations.

The figure below depicts the schedule of expected system patches and how that impacts the testing schedule:

Figure 5. Test execution process

The BCM Testing phases are orchestrated to begin with discrete functionality testing and progress through to end-to-end business scenario testing. Progression of BCM testing phases is depicted in the figure below:

Task 10: Hardware-in-The-Loop (HIL) testing of the MMC and Microgrid

BP-3 Due M10.1 / Q2-2020 Percent Complete: 70%

• Deliverable: (a) A detailed BCM RTDS model; (b) RTDS test plan document.

• Milestone: Finalized tests as per the test plan.

The MMC RTDS lab testing for Bronzeville Community Microgrid (BCM) aims to achieve a comprehensive testing of the functionalities of the Siemens MGMS microgrid controller together with different hardware through hardware in the loop test via RTDS. Work includes designing and integrating different components of the testbed and test plan. The RTDS models of BCM have been developed to emulate different operational scenarios of the microgrid for testing purposes.

The tests are designed to verify: A. MGMS interface with the field control devices, including DER controllers,

protection and control (P&C) devices, DA switches, circuit breakers, and capacitor controllers on the BCM feeder.

B. Interface between MGMS and a representative of OCC control and monitoring (SCADA Emulator).

C. Execution of the microgrid sequence of operation by MGMS.

A detailed model of the BCM and draft RTDS Test Plan have been developed and reviewed internally by the project team and other relevant stakeholders.

While the complete power circuit of the BCM is modeled in RTDS, a selected number of control hardware devices are proposed to be integrated and used as part of the test setup in a hardware-in-the-loop manner. This testing approach is referred to as Controller Hardware-in-Loop (CHIL) in the literature and standards. The rest of Protection & Control devices and distribution switchgears are simulated inside the RTDS model. Models of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) of the BCM along with load profiles and solar radiation profiles are also included in the RTDS real-time simulation model.

Figure 9 illustrates hardware control devices in the MGMS test setup, as well as the MGMS itself, which is being tested in the laboratory environment before field commissioning. Designed to emulate the real field setup as closely as possible, the laboratory setup includes multiple control devices that representing devices that will communicate and interact with MGMS in BCM. Other components are simulated in RTDS along with the power system network model to complete the setup. MGMS talks with all the devices downstream using . These downstream devices include site controller for BESS, PV and DER, breaker controllers, capacitor bank controllers as well as SCADA emulator.

Figure 9. MGMS RTDS Test System Setup Components and Connections

The BCM will be operated by Siemens MGMS as described in the sequence of operations (SOO) document. We are developing different operational scenarios and implementing them into sequence of operations. The BCM sequence of operations document details the checks and actions to be performed as the system transits from grid-connected to islanded mode of operation and vice versa.

The test set up and testing procedure are detailed in the “BCM_MGMS_RTDS_Testing_Procedures_Draft” document. The document has been updated and has been reviewed with the project stakeholders. It is expected that the RTDS tests will start in Q1 2020.

RTDS Model

The model of Bronzeville Community Microgrid (BCM) is developed in RTDS to simulate and capture the dynamic response of the grid under various operating scenarios. BCM model includes two ComEd feeders within BCM boundary and are termed subsystem 1 (SS1) and subsystem 2 (SS2) and are separated by three inter-tie switches. SS1 serves 2.5 MW of total load and SS2 serves 4.5 MW of total load. SS1 also includes 0.5MW 2 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), 0.75 MW solar photovoltaics (PV). A controllable DER will be installed in the feeder to enable operation of the feeder in different modes of operation even when the main grid is not available.

Figure 10 shows the snapshot of feeder SS2 in BCM. A snapshot of feeder SS1 is shown in Figure 11. POI of the switch can be opened to isolate this feeder from the main grid and operate in islanded microgrid mode.

(HUT). Control hardware can vary from a low-level monitoring and control devices, such as an automation controller and protective relays to high level supervisory controllers including SCADA and MGMS. RTDS provides interfaces to exchange signals with these control devices via conventional analogue and digital I/O as well as communication-based I/O . Figure 12 shows the interface for ModbusTCP communication developed in RTDS to communicate with BESS RTAC. It shows inputs and outputs in both binary and analog form.

The individual control hardware interfaces have been developed and tested. The RTDS model and interfaces are ready for testing with MGMS in the next quarter.

Task 11: Preliminary testing of BCM Islanding

BP-3 Due M11.1 / Q2-2020 Percent Complete: 50%

Subtask 11.1: Planned Islanding testing

• Milestone: Successful Planned Islanding Test.

As mentioned in the previous Q3 period report, planned island test is aimed to demonstrate the Microgrid-Integrated Solar Storage Technology (MISST) in a standalone island mode to ensure that a seamless planned island transition to a stable islanded area can be achieved. There will be two parts to the test. A dry run of the test (preparation tests) will be performed at the Maywood facility to verify control schemes of the site Real-Time Automatic Controller (RTAC) and those of a diesel genset, and to ensure the selected diesel genset has the proper controls to regulate voltage and frequency to follow the load changes, when the main grid is isolated. The final test execution will be performed on feeder.

The proposed tests are planned to be performed using an RTAC at the BESS site located in the BESS control and monitoring cabinet, as shown in Figure 13.

processes and considerations are documented and disseminated via conference presentations and online publication of technical report and paper.

Subtask 12.1: Collect operational data

Subtask 12.2: Analyze operational data and report results

Based on the new operational data collected, the project team is conducting data analysis for selected metrics related to the PV and BESS. A portion of the analysis has been completed and is presented here to verify that the metrics requirements are being met. More results from the data analysis will be reported in the future quarterly report.

Solar PV power level

The success value for this metric is solar capacity ≥ 0.58 MW. BCM hosts 0.734 MW of solar PV.

BESS power level

The success value for this metric is set to be BESS power capacity ≥ 0.5 MW. The battery installed in the BCM has a capacity of 500 kW/2000 kWh.

BESS frequency control deviation

The success value for this metric is considered to be ±0.5 Hz (frequency between the range 59.5 Hz-60.5 Hz). To evaluate this metric, frequency data from the datalogger from 06/19/2019 to 12/02/2019 is utilized and plotted in a histogram as shown below. The frequency data for datalogger has a resolution of 5s. The frequency was within the success range.

BESS voltage control deviation

The success value for this metric is ± 5% of the nominal voltage (277 V). In this case, the allowable limit would be (263.15, 290.85). To evaluate this metric, BESS voltage magnitude with a resolution of 5s from 09/20/2019 to 12/02/2019 is employed. The distribution of data associated with BESS voltage control deviation is shown using a histogram. The voltage was within the success range.

Figure 15. Histogram of datalogger voltage data for BESS voltage

Penetration level

The equation below is utilized to calculate the penetration level.

𝑃𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 (%) =𝑃𝑃𝑉,𝑚𝑎𝑥

𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑,𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘∗ 100

Where PPV,max and PLoad,Peak are maximum PV power and peak load power, respectively. The success value for this metric is 20% to 35%.

Considering that the capacity of installed PV is 734 kW AC and peak load at that feeder is 2.5MW, the penetration level is:

734

2500∗ 100 = 29.36%

Subtask 12.3: Documentation and dissemination of lessons learned

The project team is documenting sharing the technology developed as part of the project as well as the testing and analysis results with the industry.
