There is, at present, considerable interest in the storage and dispatchability of photovoltaic (PV) energy, together with the need to manage power flows in real-time. This paper presents a new system, PV-on time, which has been developed to supervise the operating mode of a Grid-Connected Utility-Scale PV Power Plant in order to ensure the reliability and continuity of its supply. This system presents an architecture of acquisition devices, including wireless sensors distributed around the plant, which measure the required information. It is also equipped with a high-precision protocol for synchronizing all data acquisition equipment, something that is necessary for correctly establishing relationships among events in the plant. Moreover, a system for monitoring and supervising all of the distributed devices, as well as for the real-time treatment of all the registered information, is presented. Performances were analyzed in a 400 kW transformation center belonging to a 6.1 MW Utility-Scale PV Power Plant. In addition to monitoring the performance of all of the PV plant’s components and detecting any failures or deviations in production, this system enables users to control the power quality of the signal injected and the influence of the installation on the distribution grid.

Smart grids play an important role in the development and modernization of the electric power system. Smart grids deal with the integration of information technology and the electric grid. In this context, a communication system is needed to achieve the main goals of smart grids. Interoperability between the systems has become an important issue. To achieve this, the IEC 61850 standard models the electric power system by means of a hierarchical data model based on semantics definitions. Existing and future applications for the electric power system heavily depend on the performance of the communication system. Several factors can affect the performance of the IEC 61850 communications. Previous studies have already analyzed the influence of network related aspects. In this research, some factors related to data and data modeling of IEC 61850 have been identified that influence the performance of the IEC 61850 devices, through the processing time. The study presented in this paper analyzes them and proposes practical recommendations to optimize the performance of the system. The results obtained reveal the importance of a proper use of data sets because their influence over the communications performance.

The electricity sector is undergoing an evolution that demands the development of a network model with a high level of intelligence, known as a Smart Grid. One of the factors accelerating these changes is the development and implementation of renewable energy. In particular, increased photovoltaic generation can affect the network’s stability. One line of action is to provide inverters with a management capacity that enables them to act upon the grid in order to compensate for these problems. This paper describes the design and development of a prototype embedded system able to integrate with a photovoltaic inverter and provide it with multifunctional ability in order to analyze power quality and operate with protection. The most important subsystems of this prototype are described, indicating their operating fundamentals. This prototype has been tested with class A protocols according to IEC 61000-4-30 and IEC 62586-2. Tests have also been carried out to validate the response time in generating orders and alarm signals for protections. The highlights of these experimental results are discussed. Some descriptive aspects of the integration of the prototype in an experimental smart inverter are also commented upon.

Photovoltaic energy has been consolidated as one of the largest sources of renewable energy. Moreover, there is continuous worldwide growth in installed capacity. However, the inherent variability and uncertainty of these power systems are its main inconveniences. It causes undesirable effects on the distribution power grids and prevents it from participating in the electricity market as a manageable or dispatchable energy source. Energy storage could ensure stabilization of decentralized grids and help to enable the penetration of photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, incorporating batteries in PV installations will require increased investment and the concomitant decrease in their profitability. An optimal design of these storage systems, in order to minimize investment costs, could be achieved by means of accurate knowledge of the PV production variations. In this paper these fluctuations are analyzed in two grid-connected photovoltaic plants located in Andalusia, Spain, over a two-year period. Information about the batteries' capacity and life-cycle may be extracted. A smoothing effect has been found if the forecast of photovoltaic production is performed at 60-min. intervals.

The aim of this paper was to design and develop a software application that enables users to perform an automated analysis of data from the monitoring of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. This application integrates data from all devices already in operation such as environmental sensors, inverters and meters, which record information on typical PV installations. This required the development of a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), consisting of a series of linked databases, enabling all PV system information to be stored; and a software, called S·lar, which enables all information from the monitoring to be automatically migrated to the database as well as determining some standard magnitudes related to performances and losses of PV installation components at different time scales. A visualization tool, which is both graphical and numerical, makes access to all of the information be a simple task. Moreover, the application enables relationships between parameters and/or magnitudes to be easily established. Furthermore, it can perform a preliminary analysis of the influence of PV installations on the distribution grids where the produced electricity is injected. The operation of such a software application was implemented by performing the analysis of two grid-connected PV installations located in Andalusia, Spain, via data monitoring therein. The monitoring took place from January 2011 to May 2012.

In this paper are described some active functions that can be implemented in the inverters that interface the distributed energy resources to the grid can implement. These inverters are mainly placed in the grid for injecting the energy produced by the distributed generation, but they can do more than that taking advantage of their distributed location, being possible to control locally the power quality, to monitor electric magnitudes and reacts quickly to any event, or even to determine the grid state by characterizing disturbances or abnormal situations.

IEC 61850 is one of the crucial standards within the Smart Grid concept. For performance evaluation of communications between Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) in Power Utility Automation, the standard defines the Transfer Time. Measurement of such parameter is not available for end user, but in development stage it is possible. Third party products can be used to reduce development time of IEC 61850 compliant devices. An initial performance evaluation of these products can be achieved through the measurement of the Transfer Time.

In the future scenario of transport and human mobility, the optimization of electric vehicles and their infrastructures (transport and energy supply) will be a key. This is the reason why it will have to provide adequate intelligent systems, both in electric vehicles and in infrastructures that provide service. Moreover, the development nowadays of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) and communications Machine To Machine (M2M) have enabled commercial solutions with relatively inexpensive cost. This paper discusses the design of M2M-based IED to develop a prototype with a flexible architecture, incorporating GPRS as wireless WAN solution and GPS technology to equip the system with geo-location functions, in order to cover future applications between electric vehicles and the different infrastructures to provide service.

Present distribution networks have not been designed to accept extensive Distributed Generation (DG). The present framework may change in the near future impelled by a worldwide increase in DG penetration in distribution grids. The mutual dependency of energy distribution and communications on the same grid requires new means for effectively monitoring and controlling both systems in parallel. Relaying and control IEDs can also serve as measurement units for power quality. Synchronized Measurement Technology (SMT) has the potential of becoming the backbone of this paradigm. By using wide-area information systems, the data can be made available to all involved partners. This paper provides different outlooks about the possibilities of Embedded Systems to integrate the protection, control and monitoring functions in Distribution Automation Systems. To justify the choice of synchronization technology, we have scheduled a complete sequence of synchronism tests and measurement tests based on standard specifications.

We propose a new synchronized technique for SmartGrid. A PTP-Based IEEE 1588-2008 Global System has been defined. Specifically for PMUs with synchronism needs up to the microsecond range, for Energy Measurements System (EMS) and for Intelligent Electronics Devices (IEDs). This new Electronic Devices comprise two main technologies; LM3S8962 microcontroller as a slave IEEE 1588-2008, a Single-Board-RIO integrating the acquisition and synchronization. For tasks such as PTP master a NI PCI_1588 card and a Symmetricom's XLI IEEE1588 GrandMaster system for test. For the essays we have defined one experimental system for high precision Synchronism.
