DNO can apply for restrictions to ensure security in distribution grid Real time remote metering to be sent to System Operator Control Center (directly or through DNO) Spanish Royal Decree 1699/2011 P < 100 KW (Individual o Group) Maximum variation of voltage caused by DG power injection has to be within ± 2,5 % Common requirement: Power factor between ± 0.98

11 Smart Metering could ease DG integration Functionality of Smart Meter in Spain Regulation requirements Remote metering for energy and power at the end of the billing period Remote metering of quality parameters Modification of the equipment setting Remote synchronization (at least one in each period) Remote SW update of the equipment Remote connection and disconnection to the power supply Demand management capabilities Capable of sending messages to the customer (publishing online the customer s information) 11

Duration 30 months Period 01/04/ /09/2014 Project Budget 6,6 M (EC grant: 4,3 M ) Project Coordinator EWEA (European Wind Energy Association) Web Site 18

19 REserviceS Project

20 REserviceS GNF Case Study Case Study definition Objective Analyze possible contributions of PV & Wind generators to the voltage control in distribution networks from an active management perspective Two different OPF (Optimal Power Flow): 1.Q minimization for voltage limits fulfillment (0.93 < Vpu < 1.07) 2.Active power losses minimization subject to voltage limits fulfillment

21 REserviceS GNF Case Study Case Study definition Approaches Objective Analyze possible contributions of PV & Wind generators to the voltage control in distribution networks from an active management perspective Two different OPF (Optimal Power Flow): 1.Q minimization for voltage limits fulfillment (0.93 < Vpu < 1.07) 2.Active power losses minimization subject to voltage limits fulfillment q Business as usual: Voltage control in MV networks by means of fixing MV busbar voltages at primary substations. DG follows constant power factor q Smart approach: DSO optimizes voltage control, mainly: Fixing MV busbar voltages at primary substations And sending optimal voltage set points to generators connected to the distribution network (Steady State Voltage Control)

22 REserviceS: Five scenarios, two R/X ratios Load peak: 8 MW Substation Two R/X ratios of MV grid: Current situation (R/X avg = 1.5) Weak scenario (R/X avg = 2.5)

23 REserviceS. Inyection of Q to regulate V Large amount of Q is required to control voltage. It is not a costefficient solution in grids with R/X > 1 (LV and underground MV lines)

24 REserviceS. Impact of P losses P injection of DG reduces grid P losses (higher reduction if there is Q injection) up to certain level of penetration DG. Anyway, it depends on each particular grid

25 REserviceS. Conclusions A high increase of the generation connected to MV network introduces complexity in the operation of Distribution System and can imply new cost for the DSO (and for the system in general). But a close and flexible interaction between DSO and Distributed Generation can change that complexity and cost to an opportunity if new tools are deployed (both technical and regulation), like new infrastructure, ancillary services, variable access contracts, 25
