University of Strathclyde
Glasgow, Scotland

2. Outline Introduction Three strands of PhD Motivation
Methodology for using SGAM.
Example Mapping
Lessons Learnt and Conclusions

3. Ancillary Services
Ancillary Services: essential to maintain grid integrity.
550,000 consumers
Report of the National Grid Investigation into the Frequency Deviation and Automatic Demand Disconnection that occurred on 27th May 2008

4. The Changing Grid Scotland 2017
9.3 GW (4 x 2007)
13% increase in generation (2016)
16% increase in capacity (2016)
>50% gross consumption comes from renewables
Global push for reducing the carbon footprint of every country

5. Impact of Changing Grid
Report of the National Grid Investigation into the Frequency Deviation and Automatic Demand Disconnection that occurred on 27th May 2008

6. Demand Side Management
The change in demand due to an incentive provided.
DSM presently utilized for provision of ancillary services.
New opportunities for demand side management: aggregation and coordination of flexible demand.
22 aggregators within the UK
The potential is not exploited.

7. Research Collaboration
ETP
University of Strathclyde
TNO
Power
Networks
Demonstration Centre
Distribution Network and Protection Laboratory

8. PhD: Scope 1
Assessment of highly distributed demand side flexibility to provide balancing ancillary services 2
Control for utilization of highly distributed demand for frequency control 3
Laboratory validation

9. Motivation Power System  Cyber Physical System
Solutions are multi-disciplinary
Novel solutions need to be de-risked
Solutions not developed by laboratory staff
Laboratory has multiple users
No standard for exploratory work

10. Methodology: Using SGAM as a Tool
Conventional methodology.
A structured methodology using SGAM as a tool to facilitate laboratory validation.

11. Example Solution Fast Acting Frequency Restoration
Supplementary control loop to allow faster activation of DSM
Inspired by the Web of Cells concept

12. Stage I
Using the test case specification template, the functions are identified
A simple set of rules for mapping defined.
The functions identified using the Test Specification template are mapped on to the function layer.
The information exchange represented on the information layer: business context view

13. Stage II : Reference Power System
A reference power system is to be selected.
A reduced six bus Great Britain power system selected.

14. Laboratory Mapping Lab Hardware
Real-time Simulation
Cell 1
Cell 2
Cell 3
Cell 4
Cell 5
Cell 6
Real-time Simulation
The components within the laboratory identified and mapped.
Power Components identified and mapped.
SGAM only capable of one system representation

15. Final Layers
The communication protocols are mapped to obtain the communication layer.
The data formats complete the information layer: canonical view.

16. Application: KPI Development
No two laboratories are same
Design of experiment helps refine KPIs

17. Conclusions Lessons Learnt Future Work 13 Laboratories
Consistent solution development
Clear task division and distributed development
Supports round robin testing
Future Work
3rd party solution
Validation, more case studies
