 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The SuSTAINABLE project will develop and demonstrate a new operation paradigm, leveraging information from smart meters and short-term localized predictions to manage distribution systems in a more efficient and cost-effective way, enabling a large-scale deployment of variable distributed resources. The SuSTAINABLE concept is based on the cloud principle, where the distribution system operator i) collects information from smart metering infrastructure and other distributed sensors, and communications from external partners, market operators, and maintenance staff; ii) processes the information using tools such as distribution state-estimation, prediction tools, data mining, risk management and decision-making applications; iii) communicates settings to power quality mitigation devices, protection relays and actuators, distribution components and distributed flexible resources; iv) assesses its market strategy as a provider of ancillary and balancing services The SuSTAINABLE concept also involves an active management of distributed flexible resources by DSOs. A multi-objective decision-making scheme will be designed to keep network voltage inside operational constraints, minimize DG energy spillage related to network constraints, minimize operational expenditures related to high reliability and continuity of service for loads and generators, minimize aging of automatic tap changers subjected to sudden variations of power flows, and maximize the balancing and ancillary services to be provided to TSOs when necessary. It will also focus on flexible protection schemes, to avoid failures in selectivity and reliability of the protection plan in low-impedance earthed neutral MV networks related to DG integration. Finally, the market strategy to be defined by the SuSTAINABLE concept encompasses aspects related to flexibility pricing for distribution network users and distribution system operators´ strategies with respect to balancing and ancillary services markets.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Today's electrical distribution systems are facing significant challenges due to the widespread deployment of small-scale power generation or storage technologies, especially the integration of variable renewable energy sources (RESs) such as wind or solar power. An EU initiative is developing efficient solutions for managing distribution networks.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Distributed generation (DG) or distributed energy is generated by a variety of small grid-connected devices known as distributed energy resources (DERs). Large-scale connection and management of DERs in the distribution network presents several challenges for European distribution system operators (DSOs) tasked with managing, maintaining and developing an effective electricity distribution system. New control and management architectures as well as advanced planning methods and operational tools for distribution systems are needed that exploit smart grids.

The EU-funded 'Smart distribution system operation for maximizing the integration of renewable generation' (http://www.sustainableproject.eu/ (SUSTAINABLE)) project aims to deliver efficient solutions for managing distribution that will enable large-scale integration of variable RESs without risking operating conditions. It will demonstrate that by employing the appropriate input data and tools, the flexibility and reliability of the distribution system can be enhanced.

During the first reporting period project members mapped existing smart grid technologies and services used by DSOs. A common SUSTAINABLE architecture was defined, and the main equipment and functionality requirements were specified.

A set of advanced tools to support network operation have been developed, including load and RES forecasting, state estimation, voltage control and technical virtual power plant operation.

Project partners assessed the impact of the SUSTAINABLE concept in terms of DG hosting capacity, and produced a cost-benefit analysis based on outcomes from the demonstration sites in Greece and Portugal.

SUSTAINABLE should help European DSOs to improve system efficiency and smart grid reliability while reducing operational costs and energy losses.
