Advanced Energy Management in Distribution Substations Incorporating Energy Storage and Demand Side Management for Increased Profitability
Abstract
In recent years, energy system going very complex because of more renewable sources, electric vehicles, storage devices and smart consumer demand. Old distribution grid cannot handle this complexity properly. For this reason, many researchers work on new energy management systems, home energy control, distributed control, and advanced distribution management. Many papers study about home energy management for flexible use of energy, predictive grid operation, and demand response. Some papers give method for integrating photovoltaic (PV), wind and battery storage into smart grid for reliable supply. Others focus on transactive energy, peer-to-peer energy trading and multi microgrid cooperation. Artificial intelligence, neural network, reinforcement learning and deep learning also used for forecasting load, generation and to optimize dispatch. Distribution Management System (DMS) and Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) are becoming main platform for future smart grid. These frameworks allow real-time monitoring, voltage control, outage management and cyber security solution. Researchers also discuss about virtual power plant (VPP), active distribution system and new protocols for communication. Cyber security and open standards also important topic for safe operation of these systems. Overall, all these studies show that future power grid need strong digital platform, with smart algorithms, storage coordination, flexible demand side, and renewable integration. By using these methods, system can achieve low carbon energy, more reliability and better cost efficiency.
