Title: Towards Non-Intrusive Real-Time Monitoring of Behind the Meter Residential Distributed Energy Resources
The growing adoption of residential distributed energy resources (DERs) introduces more uncertain variability in power grid operation. More importantly, the residential DERs operate behind customers’ energy meters, and therefore, the utility cannot “directly” monitor them. Prior approaches to enable visibility into behind-the-meter (BTM) DERs either depend on estimations or require intrusive instrumentation on the customer side. To address the critical need for direct real-time monitoring of BTM DERs, in this paper, we propose a novel approach for utility-side direct real-time monitoring of residential BTM DERs. We utilize high-frequency (> 10kHz) conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) from residential DERs’ grid-tied inverters to monitor their power generation. We discuss the working principle of our approach and present supporting results using three of-the-shelf grid-tied inverters.  more » « less

    Distributed generation is gaining greater penetration levels in distribution grids due to government incentives for integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) and DER cost reductions. The frequency response of a grid-connected single inverter changes as other inverters are connected in parallel due to the couplings among grid inductance and/or inverter output filters. The selection of the inverter- or grid-side currents as feedback control signals is then not trivial because each one has tradeoffs. This paper analyses the system stability for multiple parallel- and grid-connected inverters using the inverter- or gridside currents as feedback signals. Modeling of both feedback signals is performed using the current separation technique. Moreover, the stability range for different conditions including active damping is analyzed through the root locus technique. The grid-side current has a wider range of stability, but the inverterside current allows for higher values of the proportional gain near the critical frequency and no extra sensors are needed since measurement of the inverter current is needed for protection in high-power applications.

    Power electronic inverters for photovoltaic (PV) systems over the years have trended towards high efficiency and power density. However, reliability improvements of inverters have received less attention. Inverters are one of the lifetime-limiting elements in most PV systems. Their failures increase system operation and maintenance costs, contributing to an increased lifetime energy cost of the PV system. Opportunities exist to increase inverter reliability through design for reliability techniques and the use of new modular topologies, semiconductor devices, and energy buffering schemes. This paper presents the implementation and design for reliability for a GaN-based single-phase residential string inverter using a new topological and control scheme that allows dynamic hardware allocation (DHA). In the proposed inverter architecture, a range of identical modules and control schemes are used to dispatch hardware resources within the inverter to variably deliver power to the load or filter the second harmonic current on the DC side. This new approach more than triples the lifetime of GaN-based inverters, reducing system repair/replacement costs, and increasing the PV system lifetime energy production.

    Distribution network safety should not be compromised when distributed energy resources (DERs) provide balancing services to the grid. Often DER coordination is achieved through an aggregator. Thus, it is necessary to develop network-safe coordination schemes between the distribution network operator (i.e., the utility) and the aggregator. In this work, we introduce a framework in which the utility computes and sends a constraint set on the aggregators’ control commands to the DERs. We propose a policy to adjust the charging/discharging power of distributed batteries, which allows them to be incorporated into the framework. Also, we propose a data-driven approach for the utility to construct a constraint set with probabilistic guarantees on network safety. The proposed approach allows the DERs to provide network- safe services without heavy communication requirements or invasion of privacy. Numerical simulations with distributed batteries and thermostatically controlled loads show that the proposed approach achieves the desired level of network safety and outperforms two benchmark algorithms.

    Renewable portfolio standards are targeting high levels of variable solar photovoltaics (PV) in electric distribution systems, which makes reliability more challenging to maintain for distribution system operators (DSOs). Distributed energy resources (DERs), including smart, connected appliances and PV inverters, represent responsive grid resources that can provide flexibility to support the DSO in actively managing their networks to facilitate reliability under extreme levels of solar PV. This flexibility can also be used to optimize system operations with respect to economic signals from wholesale energy and ancillary service markets. Here, we present a novel hierarchical scheme that actively controls behind-the-meter DERs to reliably manage each unbalanced distribution feeder and exploits the available flexibility to ensure reliable operation and economically optimizes the entire distribution network. Each layer of the scheme employs advanced optimization methods at different timescales to ensure that the system operates within both grid and device limits. The hierarchy is validated in a large-scale realistic simulation based on data from the industry. Simulation results show that coordination of flexibility improves both system reliability and economics, and enables greater penetration of solar PV. Discussion is also provided on the practical viability of the required communications and controls to implement the presented scheme within a large DSO.

    The fast-growing installation of solar PVs has a significant impact on the operation of distribution systems. Grid-tied solar inverters provide reactive power capability to support the voltage profile in a distribution system. In comparison with traditional inverters, smart inverters have the capability of real time remote control through digital communication interfaces. However, cyberattack has become a major threat with the deployment of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in a smart grid. The past cyberattack incidents have demonstrated how attackers can sabotage a power grid through digital communication systems. In the worst case, numerous electricity consumers can experience a major and extended power outage. Unfortunately, tracking techniques are not efficient for today’s advanced communication networks. Therefore, a reliable cyber protection system is a necessary defense tool for the power grid. In this paper, a signature-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is developed to detect cyber intrusions of a distribution system with a high level penetration of solar energy. To identify cyberattack events, an attack table is constructed based on the Temporal Failure Propagation Graph (TFPG) technique. It includes the information of potential cyberattack patterns in terms of attack types and time sequence of anomaly events. Once the detected anomaly events are matched with any of the predefined attack patterns, it is judged to be a cyberattack. Since the attack patterns are distinguishable from other system failures, it reduces the false positive rate. To study the impact of cyberattacks on solar devices and validate the performance of the proposed IDS, a realistic Cyber-Physical System (CPS) simulation environment available at Virginia Tech (VT) is used to develop an interconnection between the cyber and power system models. The CPS model demonstrates how communication system anomalies can impact the physical system. The results of two example cyberattack test cases are obtained with the IEEE 13 node test feeder system and the power system simulator, DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
