The growing penetration level of distributed generation (DG) requires power converters to be more grid-friendly. Driven by this demand, grid-forming converters have emerged as a promising solution for DG integration. Through proper control strategies, a grid-forming converter can emulate the synchronous generator and provide substantial frequency and voltage support to the grid. Although the normal operation of grid-forming converters has been well studied in the existing works, the converter controls under large disturbances such as fault conditions have not been fully addressed yet. To fill this gap, this paper explores the operation of grid-forming converters under 3-phase symmetrical voltage sags. Moreover, a low voltage ride through (LVRT) strategy is developed to regulate the frequency and voltage magnitude of grid-forming converters. With the strategy, the grid-forming converter can provide voltage support and avoid being overloaded during grid faults. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the proposed LVRT strategy.

This paper proposes an observer-based current controller for a virtual synchronous generators (VSG) to improve its operational performances. First, the model and the controllers are analytically described. Two controller are compared to the proposed one (PI integrating a state observer): a traditional PI and a PI integrating virtual impedances for filtering. Secondly, the advantage of the observer in the current controller loop for the VSG application is studied and compared to the other controllers. Finally, experimental results validate the capacity of the VSG-based inverter to supply unknown and unpredictable loads, thanks to the integration of the observer in the current control loop.

This paper focuses on a simplified expression of the load flow constraints for the optimal planning of distributed generation (DG) in radial grids. The proposed approach lies on the conventional DistFlow equations improved with the consideration of linearized bi-directional losses and their impact on the voltage profiles. The method is validated on various radial test cases and allows to run time coupled power flows in order to consider dynamic constraints (e.g. battery state of chare) in short computational times. With the help of the proposed method, a DG placement problem is solved in less than 2 minutes with an exhaustive search over a 69 buses system and the operation is simulated along a single representative day. A scalability test is finally performed with longer time horizons and greater numbers of connected DG. The developed approach allows to run the operation of a 69 buses system over 2 months and with 20 connected DGs in less than 5 minutes.

Load prediction is at the core of many smart grid topics because its accuracy affects the resilience and optimal operation of the power grid. Short term load forecasting (STLF) specific to buildings is needed for both demand and production sides management, to help reducing peak electricity demand, optimizing energy planning, management, and conservation among other. In this paper, we analyze and compare five state of art regressive STLF algorithms relying on deep learning techniques. Algorithms were chosen based on their performances in the context of load prediction. These methods are compared in the context of smart buildings with real (large) data-set, leading to a comparison on quality metrics and a precise evaluation. The load forecasting is deployed with and without taking into account environmental features to better evaluate the benefits of reaching for external information. The idea is to help determine which of the five forecasting algorithm could be considered in the optimization loop of an energy management systems, either at the level of a district (local energy communities, or smart districts) or directly at the level of individual households (smart residential buildings) using quality metrics and need of exogenous data. Results show that the algorithms will perform better if we accept a larger training time and also present a high sensitivity on the choice of influencing parameters.

Control and management in smart grids are facing many challenges such as scalability, heterogeneity and technology innovation. This requires a transformation from the traditional centralised paradigm into a distributed one. In this paper, a new distributed programming methodology, called Centralised Programming and Distributed Execution (CPDE), is proposed. CPDE relies on (i) the abstraction of the whole system as a distributed database, (ii) the use of the Smartlog declarative and reactive rule based language for expressing data manipulation, and (iii) the automatic Smartlog rule distribution according to data distribution. It thus provides a simple and straightforward mean for distributed programming. A centralised algorithm of fair over-voltage regulation of PV systems is used as a typical smart grids study case to validate the methodology and to compare it with centralized implementations. The experiments are implemented in a real-time simulation platform with a network of Raspberry Pis. In addition to showing its correctnes and ease of use, the performance of the CPDE implementation is studied, as well as its sensitivity to the increasing number of computing units and the data distribution. Results are promising and show the clear benefits of this methodology compared to more classical implementations.

This work develops a distributed fast-frequency control framework for application in self-consuming energy communities. We propose a distributed consensus optimization of inertia coefficients based on the individual resource constraints of grid-friendly distributed energy resources (DERs), which relies on the presence of a peer-to-peer communication infrastructure. In the proposed control strategy, the inertia coefficients of the individual DERs are optimally tuned in real-time by a faster control loop to improve the frequency response metrics such as Nadir frequency, peak overshoot, and the settling time of the frequency transient with the help of local model predictive controllers. The coordination among the DERs is simulated on the CIGRE benchmark microgrid and the control is validated on a power hardware-in-the-loop platform.

Energy production systems for isolated communities lacking national energy grids are, in many countries, associated with first energy access of rural or developing regions. Those communities require innovative design methods to select relevant solutions for sustainable developments in a context of continuously strengthening climate change conditions. The design of an innovative solution goes through multiple stages. After identifying opportunities, analyzing a context and identifying a problem, we are interested here in the process of imagining solutions and guiding reflections so that the resulting solutions are sustainable. Sustainability is analyzed from technical, economic, environmental and social angles. The two main visions for imagining solutions, the value proposition and the technical solution, are discussed. We are then developing a multi-criteria method of sustainable design to imagine the technical solution of an electricity production system in a context of first access to energy for isolated communities. This method serves as decision and discussion support between all stakeholders (community, decision makers, project managers) so that they collectively build a sustainable solution. As the exchanges progress, criteria from different fields meet and complement each other to allow the development of the specifications for the energy production solution which will be ultimately developed.

Rural electrification is a complete transformation with even greater impacts in remote areas. Designing appropriate technologies that meet the tough requirements of isolated communities remains a challenge. Through the use of hydrokinetic energy, we take some isolated villages in French Guiana as examples to propose an electrical service keeping in mind that energy access is not an end-in-itself, the real goal being the sustainable development of the community. The triple layered business model canvas and a multi-criteria assessment method help to imagine the value proposition and the design of the solution in a sustainable approach.

As of December 2018, member states of the European Union have two years to implement a framework for renewable energy communities. In countries that have already implemented a framework, the financial balance of local communities is often determined by their ability to coordinate consumption at times when solar panels produce energy. Although, at the moment, local communities do not often control their distributed energy resources (DERs) such as electric vehicles, home equipment, or electric heating. This work aims at comparing a novel local energy market (LEM) framework with a low-tech price reaction mechanism to coordinate DERs in the context of the recent French collective self-consumption framework. Our contribution is two folds: first in developing a literature review at the intersection between transactive energy concepts and recent regulations for collective self-consumption, and second, in evaluating the performance of the proposed LEM on a simulated platform with 17 households during a year. Our results highlight the coordination requirements to reach different levels of self-sufficiency for a solar-based energy community.

This paper proposes an observer-based current controller for virtual synchronous generators (VSG) in the presence of unmeasured and unpredictable loads. First, the considered models are described, notably the selected VSG model, as well as the grid-connected inverter. Then, the proposed controller is detailed which consists in a linear quadratic regulator incorporating an integrator and a state observer. Finally, experimental results validate the capacity of the VSG solution, based on the presented controller, to supply unknown and unpredictable loads represented as nonlinear and unbalanced loads, as well as survive short-circuits and operate in parallel with other power sources. This extensive set of tests proves the relevance of such controller in the wake of the industrialization of the proposed VSG solution, as well as the necessity to incorporate a non-simplified synchronous machine model and an advance, reactive controller.

Previous works proposed a tool coupling models of a prospective outlook on long-term energy systems and a transmission grid investment and dispatch, focusing on the representation of the European transmission grid and its development on the horizon 2050–2100. In this paper, this prospective tool is further improved with the capacity to compute voltage as well as active and reactive power flows at the level of the distribution grid. This added capacity allows analyzing various issues related to the integration of variable energy resources in three representative real medium voltage distribution grids (urban, rural and semi-urban). Technical flexibility solutions such as on-load tap changers, variable energy resources curtailment and storage technologies are modeled and compared to reinforcement. A cost comparison between these flexibility solutions is also carried out. Finally, the new version of the tool is used to evaluate the CO2−eq emissions linked to the development of the European power system infrastructure, with flexibility solutions, up to the year 2050 (both high voltage alternative and direct current lines reinforcement being considered) under a 2 °C climate energy policy scenario. Results show that it exists various options for the development of the European grid infrastructure, which are clearly sensitive to the level of accuracy in the representation of the physical infrastructures and their technical limitations. Being able to represent the distribution grid, in addition to the transmission one, has a noticeable impact on the prospective outlook of the European power systems both in terms of infrastructure reinforcement and estimation of the needs of flexibility solutions.

This paper presents a new power sector module, called EUTGRID, which is coupled with the long-term energy model POLES to deliver a suitable framework for considering grid aspects in energy modelling allowing for more distinct analysis of energy technology development and energy policy. It includes a mechanism of investment in transmission grids based on nodal prices together with a DC-load flow and a more detailed description of the European transmission grid. The methodology goes beyond “conventional” energy systems modelling, where the electricity grid is usually represented as a copper plate. The results show that within a climate policy scenario, the grid investment needs reach 454b$ for 2010–2080 as regions with high share of VREs require new interconnections. The role of the transmission grid in reducing variable system costs and VREs curtailment is also assessed. Delaying the investments may result in non-distributed energy and the need of more back-up carbon technologies.

This paper reports the recent work carried out to engage both the environmental impact and the economic indicators on the prioritisation of dispatchable technologies in the European energy mix up to 2050. Those two contradictory indicators are incorporated in a multi-criteria optimisation leading to iterations of two scenario: business as usual and 2 °C climate policy. The results present the evolution of the climate change emission versus the operational costs of the power system up to 2050. The yearly electricity mix evaluations allow assessing the long-term development of the European energy system, where a focus is done on variable renewable energy production. It is shown that policy-only solutions, associated with a traditional cost-oriented optimisation, have a limited impact on helping the power sector to reach emission levels targets. Integrating the objective of reducing emissions to the management of power plants would reduce the absolute and cumulative carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. The counterpart is that the system electricity price tends to increase faster thus implying increased social costs.

In the control and supervision of smart grids, the objective is to handle any change in the system as fast as possible, with as few resources as possible. In this context, this paper proposes a new language, called Smartlog, designed with a declarative approach. This avoids collecting and analyzing data presenting no interest, and thus being less efficient in bandwidth usage and computational time. Smartlog is designed for operating smart grids defined as abstract structures of large and scalable distributed databases. From its definition, some major properties of this language, such as simplicity, incremental capacity, and scalability are highlighted. The language is tested on the application of the secondary control of an isolated microgrid using a real-time simulator connected to Raspberry Pis. The characteristics of Smartlog are illustrated thanks to a comparison with an imperative programming implementation of the same regulation.

The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) is emerging as a promising candidate for replacing synchronous generators in more-electronics power systems. Its fundamental objective lies in the regulation of active and reactive power for voltage forming and frequency control. To achieve tight power regulation, VSGs usually have closed-loop active power and reactive power controls. However, this paper reveals that the coupling effect between the active power control and the reactive power control will greatly change the synchronous stability of a VSG. Specifically, the maximum transferred active power and its associated power angle are reduced because of the coupling effect. To quantify this effect, a small-signal model of a grid-tied VSG is constructed, based on which the critical operation point is further analyzed. The power angle curve of VSGs with fixed reactive power output is compared with that of VSGs with constant output voltage amplitude. Finally, the effect of reactive power droop control in increasing the stable operation region is investigated in this paper.

This article studies the issues of storage in the planning of low voltage (LV) networks. An algorithm of advanced automation function is developed to illustrate the maximum economic value of storage, from the distribution system operator (DSO) point of view, in the long-term planning of LV networks, compared to a conventional reinforcement method. In order to model the randomness that characterises the new actors of the network (distributed production and storage), a stochastic planning study with uncertainties concerning the connection nodes of the batteries and the photovoltaic production in the network is conducted. The results show that compared to reinforcement, storage can present an economic benefit for the DSO, based on a limited but crucial set of elements: cost of remuneration for using storage, topology, and constraints on the network, and characteristics of the equipment presenting the constraints. For the third-party storage facility owner, the presented benefits constitute the maximal envelop within which a cost benefit analysis should be restricted to be economically viable, as likely to be used to provide services to the DSO. These points are illustrated with two real networks in order to validate the proposed planning tool.

Under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) schemes are designed by specifying a given amount of load to shed at various frequency thresholds to prevent the collapse of the electrical power system in the event of a large generation-load imbalance. An UFLS step is constituted of a group of medium-voltage feeders that trip when a given frequency threshold is reached. This study focuses on the method to be used when allocating a given feeder to a given step. First, the authors introduce performance metrics to quantify the accuracy level with which the UFLS target is met. Second, they model: the allocation method currently used in France; a variant of that method; and a new method introduced in this study, based on an automated clustering technique. Third, based on real consumption patterns measured from a vast area in France, and using the introduced performance metrics, they compare the efficiency of the three described methods. This study is conducted for the current state of loading of the considered distribution network and for a hypothetical situation with an increased share of distribution-side photovoltaic generation. For the chosen performance metrics, they demonstrate that the first two methods provide similar results while the clustering-based method performs remarkably better.

Sumba is an island located in the eastern part of The Indonesian Archipelago that is programmed to reach 95% renewable energy in 2025 as the Sumba Iconic Island. This paper evaluates the renewable energy potential of the Eastern side of the grid of Sumba. In 2018, the renewable energy production in the Eastern Sumba subsystem represents 5.34% of the energy production, and the remaining 94.66% are from diesel engines. It is far from the national renewable energy target of 23% by 2025 and the program of the Sumba Iconic Island. The evaluations pertaining to renewable energy integration should calculate the RES plant's size and location. A probabilistic approach is adopted to capture the stochastic behaviour of loads and RES generation levels to provide a global view of the impact of RES penetration on the grid. This paper focused on assessing the RES potential integration in Eastern Sumba subsystem using numerical stochastic power flow (SPF) through a series of technical performance indices using power system analysis software. The result of each optimal power flow is recorded, and the process is repeated. The studied system presents long 20 kV distribution lines, thus significant voltage drops. This problem can be solved by adding shunt capacitors or new renewable generators along with installing storages capacities as back up. It has been resulted that PV and WTG in Haharu and PV in Kambajawa (one part of the island) are more reliable to build than PV in Melolo and WTG in Palakahembi (other part of the island), as reflected by active and reactive power losses, voltage deviation and line loading indices.

Self-sustainable autonomous microgrids with 100% converter-connected generation are most suitable for powering remote areas without impacting the environment. This work focuses on the regulation aspect of such islanded microgrids by sizing and controlling energy storage systems to support the renewable energy-based microgrids. Each generation unit in the microgrid acts as a voltage-source that contributes to frequency and voltage regulation, wherein the regulation is achieved by a modified droop control that emulates the inertia property of synchronous machines. The size of energy storage systems that support this task is estimated based on the allowable regulation standard and control scheme.

Virtual Synchronous Generator control of inverters is one of the promising solution to the insertion of renewable energies on Microgrids which still insure the system's stability. In this paper an improved synchronous machine model for the VSG-based inverter is proposed. The model represents the dynamics of the synchronous machine and has the advantage to respect the synchronous machine standards. The proposed model is detailed and completed with a frequency-response characteristics study. Two different validations are presented to support this new model. Firstly, a comparison with a previously developed model, implemented in the control of an inverter is presented. Secondly, to validate the fact that the proposed synchronous machine model respects the standards, harmonics studies are performed and discussed.
