Modelling framework for study of the differences between centralized and decentralized smart grid services
Challenge and objective
- Performing reliability analysis of interconnected smart grid system services.
- Taking into account common dependencies on both power system and ICT infrastructure.
- Investigate differences in services deployment: centralized and decentralized operation.
Work performed
- Created a simulation framework for evaluating reliability of system services in a smart distribution grid.
- Performed a test using the IEEE 33-bus test grid.
Significant results
- Trade-off between centralized and decentralized service deployment can be quantified.
- Decentralized availability is better on average, but can vary throughout the grid.
Impact for distribution system innovation
- Step towards reliability analysis that more accurately considers impact of ICT infrastructure and different deployment options.
