  1. Relying on DER penetration in distribution network planning Statistical methods in planning Hungarian National Seminar 08. Mai 2008 Dr.-Ing. Christine Schwaegerl

  2. Planning required for DER integration • Network analysis • probabilistic steady state and dynamic calculation of dispersed generation system including network loading, voltage, short circuit and fault ride through behavior • DER impacts on reliability and protection • optimized siting and sizing of distributed energy resources (DER) to minimize loss, improve reliability and provide alternatives for investment • Energy management • optimized configuration of thermal and electrical generation units considering economics, environmental impacts as well as energy aspects • calculation of optimum supply scenarios to minimize costs, optimize energy portfolio, or participate in energy trading • optimized operation strategies based on daily schedules • Further analysis • economical analysis (cost / benefit ratio, return of investment, payback times, ... ) • analysis of environmental impact for different planning and operation strategies

  3. Application Areas of Stochastic Methods • Why are stochastic methods required in case of high DER penetration? • -> Traditional network analysis not further sufficient: • Load Flow: boundary conditions do not necessarily occur at generalized extreme case studies • Reliability: availability and contribution of RES units cannot be described with a deterministic generator model • Control and Operation Strategies:uncontrollability and intermittency of RES units have to be considered to have always equal energy balance

  4. Stochastic Methods for Network Analysis • Two major approaches: • Simulation (Sequential Monte Carlo Method) Pros: Close description of reality, good simultaneity model, suited for real-time control Cons: High computational requirement, high RES modeling requirement • Analytical (Modeling Based on Probability Distributions) Pros: Efficient calculation algorithm, limited data volume, clear results, accurate math model Cons: Difficult to simulate impact of DER output variation with same (normal) distribution function; simultaneity among varied DER units difficult (impossible) to model

  5. The Analytical Approach: Basic Concepts • Basic idea: Shift time-domain calculation to (statistical) frequency domain calculation Load Load + PV generation PV generation Time Domain relative power p.u. relative power p.u. relative power p.u. hours per year hours per year hours per year Frequency Domain probability density function probability density function probability density function relative power p.u. relative power p.u. relative power p.u.

  12. Simulation results - Application to Scheduling • Simulation approach is suitable for real-time analysis of DER-penetrated networks

  13. Simulation results – Test network to demonstrate impact on reliability

  14. Comparison of Reliability Improvements by Different DER Types Without DG PV Wind Frequency of supply interruption (1/a) CHP DG with constant output Reliability increases with increasing ratio of microgeneration (highest for CHP, lowest for PV) ! Intermittency needs to be considered -> otherwise results are too good ! Assumption: Installed DER capacity equals maximum network load (100 % DER penetration)
