Aim
 |
Provide the DSOs with a real-time control framework of grids with several heterogeneous resources at MV and LV in order to increase host capacity and ensure grid security |
Activities
Commelec is a framework that enables real-time control of heterogeneous resources using explicit power set points. The Commelec control system is under deployment in Rolle with the aim to either provide frequency support to the medium-voltage side grid or have a dispatchable LV feeder or both.
The following actions will be taken:
a) Adaptation of the uncontrollable Commelec load agent to the needs of the project
b) Development of an Application programming interface (API) Commelec-GridEye by DEPSys to sense and actuate different controllable resources in Rolle
Preliminary Results
Up to date, the uncontrollable load agent in Commelec is developed in Python but it needs to be ported in C++ given that Python implementation is slow. Also, an API is already defined by EPFL and DEPsys (the company which commercializes GridEye units) and is currently being by DEPsys. (Achara et al., 2017).
