Electrical Power Symposium 2006"From Tesla�’s AC Power System to Distributed Generation and Smart Grids"
November 10, 2006
Electrical Power Symposium 2006
Outline�• Complexity of Critical Infrastructures�• The IDAPS concept
�• Nation�’s critical infrastructures have become very complex and interdependent.
�• Charles Perrow, in a Sept 2006 Spectrum article, suggests critical infrastructures can be made less of a target by design.
�• In other words, planners need to focus on distributed systems that are more resilient, thus easier to protect it against man-made and natural disasters.

DER technologies
�• Solar cells
�• Wind turbines
�• Fuel cells
�• Electric vehicles
�• Diesel gensets
�• Microturbines
�• Storage devices

By design, the IDAPS is a specialized microgrid that is set up at the level of end-use customers to allow electricity trading among neighbors. �“Retail competition�”

Two modes of IDAPS operation
�• Normal operating conditions
�• Outage conditions
6
Electrical Power Symposium 2006
During normal operating conditions
�• The IDAPS structure is complementary to the main electricity grid.
�• Households or businesses can �– purchase electricity from the grid as usual �– purchase electricity from their neighbors
�• Customers can choose which of their deferrable demands will be serviced based on the real-time cost of electricity.
Electrical Power Symposium 2006
During outage conditions
�• An IDAPS cell will island itself from the grid and start to operate autonomously.
�• Critical loads will first be served by their internal sources, and any shortfall can be made up through open market purchases.
�• It is also possible to buy and sell electricity among different IDAPS microgrids.

Electrical Power Symposium 2006
IDAPS operations characteristics
�• Supply-driven-demand management
�• Multi-agent technology
�• Web-based communication architecture
Electrical Power Symposium 2006
Managing demand-driven-supply Vs Supply-driven-demand
Demand-driven-supply in �“the Pool�”Offers from generators are based on the �“known�” demand.
Supply-driven-demand in �“IDAPS�”(deferrable) demand for electricity is met by available supplies.

Electrical Power Symposium 2006
Supply-driven-demand management
�• An IDAPS cell will employ a bulletin board that represents an electricity marketplace for electricity buyers and sellers to transact business.

Communication overlay architecture
�• The multi-agent framework calls for a messaging system capable of exchanging information and control data among various agents, DER devices and interfaces.
�• A web-based communication architecture such as web services will be used to ensure interoperability among equipment.

Electrical Power Symposium 2006
Web services
�• Web services is a web-based and platform-independent protocol for exchanging structured information in a decentralized and distributed environment.
�• Web services utilize extensible mark-up language (XML) over HTTP.
