    Seminar Report: Load Management System With Intermittent Power On The Grid

    Uploaded by

    nogeshwar
    The document summarizes a seminar report on developing a load management system to maximize the use of intermittent renewable energy sources connected to the grid. The project aims to identify commercial benefits of load management, model economic benefits for customers, and develop a low-cost system using communication technologies and switching devices. Key tasks included evaluating control strategies, demonstrating a strategy at a test site, and investigating social aspects. Preliminary conclusions found mitigating voltage rise and maximizing on-site renewable usage were technically possible. A system was installed at a community site to minimize energy export by measuring power and controlling loads via communications. Both technical and social challenges were addressed.

    SEMINAR REPORT

    Load Management System with Intermittent Power on the Grid

    072113103 M.TECH POWER SYSTEM Shiv.nitb@gmail.com

    Project objectives
    Identify contractual requirements and commercial benefits of different load management systems
    under the Renewables Obligation and electricity trading arrangements

    Model economic benefits of load management to customers with intermittent generation on site Develop low cost load management system
    incorporating communication technologies and switching devices to maximise renewable energy use on a demonstration site

    Identify associated social and psychological aspects

    Project tasks
    Identified and evaluated four potential control strategies for a load management system on the distribution network
    A solution to voltage rise problems caused by distributed generation Ensuring zero export from a site with renewable generation Avoiding load demand discrepancies Creating an additional market for renewable energy

    Selected one strategy suitable for application at the test site Demonstrated technical aspects of load management equipment Investigated the social aspects of the load management strategy

    Conclusions from preliminary evaluation


    Mitigating voltage rise from embedded generation
    technically achievable benefits of avoiding voltage-related constraints ~ 4 x implementation cost in case study

    Maximising on-site usage of renewables on a site with embedded generation and loads
    technically possible to ensure close to zero power export to the grid quick payback of implementation cost possible

    Avoiding demand discrepancies between actual and contractual volumes of load


    possible only to reduce, rather than avoid, demand discrepancies savings ~ 5 x installation cost over 20 years in case study

    Creation of additional demand for renewable energy


    complex system with high capital cost of duplicated heating equipment possible to reduce energy bills and increase generation / supply companies revenues

    Minimising energy export from embedded generation


    Technique selected for demonstration at Findhorn Foundation Community 75kW wind turbine with plans for ~600kW more wind capacity (at time of project inception) Extensive low voltage distribution network, administered by FFC Power export from site rare, but will increase significantly when new wind turbines added Installation aimed to demonstrate load management technology

    Engineering challenges
    Measurement of imported / exported power Signal communications needs to be robust
    powerline carrier demonstrated here via overhead line and underground cable low power radio communications cables internet

    Control algorithm for deciding when to switch devices


    need to avoid increasing import from grid! need to avoid switching large blocks of load simultaneously

    Social challenges
    Selecting suitable loads for automatic management Identifying and communicating benefits to consumers of surrendering control over their loads
    traffic light idea popular with the community voluntary load switching test loads were mostly in central community buildings

    Ensuring no loss of quality or reliability of supply Integrating system with tariff structure to incentivise take-up

    Simulation results
    Key to developing control algorithms and identifying benefits Example results:
    assume 72kWh per day provided by 40kW of deferrable load without control timeswitch controls 40kW just before midnight with control 40kW switched on and off throughout the day depending on wind availability saving in this instance = 19kWh depends on wind profile and switching speed

    Test results
    Demonstrated:
    low-cost power measurement system simple PIC-based control algorithm powerline carrier communications over three phase low voltage network around test site (including cable and overhead lines)

    Conclusions
    Identified several beneficial applications of load management in context of renewable energy Extended application of Econnects load controllers from off-grid systems to grid-connected operation Developed a load management system for implementation Demonstrated successful technical operation of component parts Identified issues which will make a system practicable and successful
