European Electricity Grid Initiative (EEGI)

‘Research & Innovation Roadmap’ and ‘Implementation Plan’

Key challenges: Development of renewable generation at

transmission level

Implementing new network infrastructures

Transition from aging fossil-fuelled plant to small residential PV and large scale wind

Power electronics for generation and grid

Transmission-Distribution interface issues

Grid supporting market development

Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM)

Standardisation framework requested as EU directive: Means to communicate in a common view/language

about system context with industry, customers and regulators

Integration of various existing state-of-the-art approaches into one model with additional European aspects

Methods to serve as a basis to analyse and evaluate alternative implementations of an architecture

Support for planning for transition from an existing legacy architecture to a new smart grid-driven architecture

Criteria for properly assessing conformance with identified standards and given interoperability requirements.

Ireland: Wind power voltage support

Large distribution connected wind power portfolio

Erosion of ‘traditional’ generation voltage support capability

Exploration of aggregated resource capability of wind power from DSO to TSO network

Need to integrate results into transmission planning

Cuffe, P: ‘Reactive Power From Distributed Generators: Characterisation And

Utilisation Of The Resource’, PhD Thesis, 2013.


Wind power voltage support

Each generator locally maximising reactive power

Dispatch active power to minimize total reactive support

Minimize reactive power injection into transmission system: min (Qnet)

Find the worst combination of active power flows that may align to hinder reactive power provision

Capability with enhanced LDC


United Kingdom

Accelerating Renewable Connections (ARC) Scottish Power Distribution £8M+ LCNF T2 Project

Aims to offer faster, more economic DG connections via:

A new connections process;

The use of smart interventions to accelerate connections – Active Network Management and other Technologies; and

ANM-enabling GSPs approaching capacity ahead of need.

Summary

Major European efforts on coordination, stimulus and standardisation

Clear market statements of need (e.g. EEGI)

Tools to underpin innovation and integration are promising (e.g. SGAM)

Real smart grid initiatives provide clear indications of whole system approaches spanning the physical system and across multiple actors
