11 2 Dissemination Plan At the beginning of the project, the Work Package 7 (WP7) produced the Dissemination Plan in order to define the most efficient ways to introduce the Project results internally and to third parties. This plan aims the following items: Proposing a dissemination policy for the knowledge and know-how shared by the projects. Defining the objectives of the shared dissemination actions. Defining the different types of communications, and the publication approval processes. Identifying the target audiences for each objective. Identifying the different communication delivery mechanisms Presenting a schedule of the dissemination actions along the three years of the projects. Summarizing the key factors of success for these shared dissemination actions. Proposing a methodology to assess the effectiveness at delivering information to the addressed stakeholders based on measurements of stakeholder feedbacks. In this Plan, the communication needs have been identified and the communication channels to establish in order to satisfy the communication needs have been specified. The Dissemination Plan establishes the methodology to be followed for all dissemination activities during the project as the dissemination strategy. The dissemination strategy of the project consists on planning and delivering an effective communication to all stakeholders concerned at both EU and national levels. Dissemination strategy is defined globally for all partners and for all demo projects (demonstrators) in order to ensure a wide impact at EU level. In addition, the Dissemination Plan has defined the approval process for all dissemination materials, depending on the type of public. V /07/16 11/46

12 3 Communication Roadmap update The first version Communication roadmap defined in the [D7.1] was a table including internal and external events. In order to simplify the visibility of the information this table has divided in two different tables one for internal dissemination activities and the other for external ones. Table 2 summarizes the internal communication activities made during the first period and the future actions. These activities are focused on sharing the knowledge of the project and results among the partners in order to facilitate the dissemination activities. V /07/16 12/46

19 4 Stakeholders Committee feedbacks In order to draw on the analysis carried out during the Project and obtain feedback from reputed professional in distribution grid management and DRES, IGREENGrid project contacted some relevant professionals (from energy sectors, equipment manufacturers, engineering companies, owners/operator of energy facilities, policy makers, R&D institutions, ) to form IGREENGrid Stakeholders Committee in order to incorporate the knowledge and expertise of this relevant energy professionals to the project. The main objective of the Stakeholders Committee is to collaborate in the following activities: Analyse and evaluate current situation, identifying the problems and obstacles presently restricting the large-scale integration of DRES in low and medium voltage grids. Propose solutions that could be tested during the Project. Provide feedback (according technical, regulatory and economic criteria) about inputs that could be taken into consideration and intermediate outputs. Carry out recommendations regarding Project outputs. Table 5 present the Stakeholders Committee members: Type of Stakeholder Organisation Members SiNGULAR Anastasios Bakirtzis or João P. S.

20 Two Stakeholders meeting have taken place during the first period, the 25 th of September 2013 in Paris and the 6 th of February 2014 via web-conference 4.1 First Stakeholders Committee meeting First Stakeholders Committee was focused on presenting the: Main objectives of the project. Demo presentation through a Poster session. First findings of the project, in particular the first identification of the barriers and Key Performance Indicators KPI. Feedbacks of the stakeholder are summarized below: It is important to establish the responsibilities and scopes of TSO and DSO regarding the integration of DRES. Active coordination between TSO and DSO would increase the hosting of DRES. Most relevant issues are: o To define the best solution for the voltage control. o To manage with the big amount of data that the DRES usually provide. o To define/standardize the network codes parameters to connect DRES. o To determine which ancillary services can DRES provide and which ones not. o Definition of generic KPI to be used in different projects and situations, providing an essential mean to compare different solutions. The stakeholders are very interested in: o KPI definitions and management. o How the DRES can provide ancillary services. o Kind of model defined to implement the simulations of the solutions proposed in demos and how will be characterized the environmental conditions. o DRES cost-benefits analysis. o Replicability and scalability methodology and analysis. o Feedbacks of GRID+ and EEGI recommendations use. Limits of the EEGI KPIs. o DRES market integration models. o The way to involve customer to improve the penetration of DRES and how improved the social acceptance of smart metering solutions. 4.2 Second stakeholders Committee meeting Second Stakeholders Committee was focused on presenting the: Final barriers for connection of DRES in Distribution Grids. Final Indicative IGREENGrid Key Performance Indicators KPI. V /07/16 20/46

21 IGREENGrid Data gathering tool Next steps, methodology Concerning the barriers, the most relevant stakeholder s feedbacks are summarized below: Coordination between TSO-DSO (DSO role definition), remuneration of services, lack of incentives (not contracts with the generators). Interaction with news actors. Lack of coordination and remuneration. The situation is the same around the world the barriers are common in the rest of the countries. Incentive the R&D programs of Smart Grids can help to reduce the barriers. Concerning the KPI, the most important feedbacks are summarized below: Need to clarify the interaction with GRID+ KPI. Need to add a KPI around the reverse power flow or something equivalent to the frequency signal at the TSO level. Need to add an economic analysis. V /07/16 21/46

22 5 Website and Social media The Web presence is a main element of the Dissemination work in the IGREENGrid project and includes: Public website to present the Project objectives and scope to third parties; Use of social networks to spread the Project results: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter.

26 6 IGREENGrid, SiNGULAR and SuSTAINABLE common communication activities IGREENGrid project schedules four dedicated workshops towards professional associations and the research performers aiming at disseminating detailed results per key business areas and three common workshops with SINGULAR and SuSTAINABLE projects. These project teams strongly believe that close collaboration and interaction among the family of projects funded under the EC call "ENERGY : Integration of variable distributed resources in electricity distribution networks", is vital towards the fulfillment of their mutual goals, the wide dissemination of their expected outcomes and the consistent exploration of their results. A common workshop was organized in Athens on the 10 th and 11 th April First day was dedicated to the private common workshop and second day to the public workshop. 6.1 Private common workshop Private common workshop was held on the 10 th of April [D1.5] will be present a complete description of the contents and conclusions of the private workshop. Table 7 presents the agenda of the meeting: Session 1 Leader IGREENGrid KPI experiences New DSO functionalities and roles to integrate DER DSO new services (ancillary, ) Session 2 Leader SiNGULAR Barriers in DRES integration Storage experience to cope with RES variability Management of uncertainties introduced by DRES Session 3 Leader SuSTAINABLE Integration of Forecasting in DSO network operation Voltage Control Architecture (centralized vs. decentralized) DSO Smart Grid Architecture (experiences and ideas sharing) Table 7 Agenda of the private common workshop Comillas HEDNO EDP Comillas TUB UNIMAN NTUA INESC EFACEC The more relevant conclusions of the workshop are listed below: KPIs have been designed in order to take into account technical, economic and sustainability aspects. The business as usual scenario is represented by the classical grid reinforcement which could be attributed to the cost of the adopted smart grid solution. The business as usual scenario is represented by the classical grid reinforcement which produce the same technical benefits derived from the application of the smart grid solution. Research centers are the best candidates for the development of KPIs and related data collection. V /07/16 26/46

27 Data collection is one of the most critical aspects related to KPIs calculation. Data format and availability depend on the country and DSO. Storage systems use has numerous benefits. The management of the storage will maximise its value. Storage provision of ancillary services it s a proved service. SINGULAR approach for forecast includes probabilistic forecast, forecast for week ahead, with hourly resolution, refreshed 4 times per day, forecast for different types of RES, and forecast services for scheduling, probabilistic power flow and predictive demand side management. The discussion focused on the advantages and disadvantages of centralized or decentralized voltage approaches, finally concluded that a suggestion to prefer lowest voltage levels to safe energy only succeeds in case of some inefficient devices or appliances. 6.2 Public common workshop First public common workshop was held on the 11 th of April [D7.6] presents a complete description of the contents and conclusions of the public common workshop.

28 (EDSO4SG) Mr. Carlos Costa (evolvdso Project) Table 8 Agenda of the public common workshop The most important conclusions of the workshop are listed below: New ENTSOE Networks Codes, could impact the security of the distribution networks. In order to limit the risks and to improve the costs for the end users connected to the distribution network, it is necessary to guarantee: Data and communication should be handled by the DSO. The distribution users should only receive signals and requests from the DSO. The DSO should prescribe how to test the compliance of distribution network users. The actively management of the grid. New DSO roles are necessary in order to guaranty the security, as for example, the Distribution System Optimizer, Neutral Market Facilitator or the Distribution Constraints Market Operator. A new regulatory framework is required to put in place these new roles and to define adapted incentives to invest in Smart Grids solutions One of the most important issues is therefore to establish a good interaction with the national and European regulators.

29 7 Effectiveness of dissemination In order to successfully implement the Dissemination Plan and even continuously improve it, it s necessary to measure the effectiveness of dissemination and gathering feedbacks regarding communication contents. To ensure that the dissemination events are performing well in achieving the objectives pursued, evaluation has to be an integrated part of the dissemination process. A variety of performance indicators and feedback mechanisms may be used, focusing on two key areas: 1. Is the dissemination effective? E.g. are we using the right objectives, vehicles, content, etc.? Specific metrics per event in the communication roadmap will be measured after the event has been delivered. More general feedback about how the stakeholders/audiences evaluate the interventions will also be gathered on a periodic basis. 2. Are the dissemination actions achieving the required level of commitment? E.g. are the Communication actions impacting the behaviors and knowledge of the audiences? 7.1 Measuring effectiveness Table 9 presents the metrics used to monitor effectiveness in this first period. Metrics may improve for the next period. Metrics How to Measure When Metric Number publications Number of publications By period 13 Quality / Relevancy of the Newsletter content Interviews After each official newsletter publication Not calculated yet Level of satisfaction with quality of publications Interviews Depending on the channel and material (may be ad-hoc or on a pre-defined frequency) 4,5/5 of stakeholders satisfaction Number of events with presence of IGREENGrid Number of events By period 15 Table 9 Metrics for effectiveness measurement V /07/16 29/46

30 8 Conclusions The dissemination activities of IGREENGrid project include physical events in national and international workshops, as well as presence on the World Wide Web and the interaction with the social networks to spread the project results. The first version of the website pages was designed in May-June 2013, and its first content version was approved by the project consortium at the end of July The website is live and operational since August IGREENGrid dissemination key figures Since the beginning of the project, IGREENGrid project has: Attended 13 events and conferences.

32 9 Annexes- Uses Cases and processes in the solutions tested This chapter presents a general description of all the demonstrators uses cases and process for demonstration of the proposed solutions. 9.1 Spanish Demo Uses Cases Use case 1: MV and LV power flow monitoring, including DG Design and implementation of new ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are necessary in order to obtain information to increase the observability of the distribution network using the new measures from secondary substations and DG data including active and reactive power, current and voltages. The objective of this use case is to define the data acquisition frame and the data processing in order to obtain the inputs of the control system. Specifically, there will be different inputs from three main sources: voltage control devices, DG, secondary substations and substations. The voltage control devices (MV and LV STATCOM) provide injected/consumed reactive power, current and voltage measures (Q, V, I) at the connection point to the MV/LV network, directly to the control system. For DG, active and reactive generated power data (P and Q) are acquired. Since measures came from different devices and systems where they are stored, the availability of these measures diverges depending on the sources (from real time to monthly captures). Moreover at secondary substations, new smart devices will be deployed in order to obtain active and reactive power loads, current loads, bus voltages (P, Q, V, I) and alarms from the MV and LV power network. From primary substation, measures from the feeders (P, Q, and V) will be acquired. Data acquisition requires ICT which comprises systems, the interface with the data collection devices and data transmission (physical channel, standard protocols, and data specification) Use case 2: Distribution network state estimation From the monitored variables of the network, the state estimation calculates the most probable status of the network in real-time. The output of the state estimator is a power flow model which feeds the voltage control algorithm, trying to avoid the problem of typical numerical instability on the V /07/16 32/46

The developed state estimation algorithm comprises a load estimation tool which feeds the state estimation algorithm with pseudo measurements at load buses of the MV networks. These pseudo measures increase the visibility of the distribution network and provide an appropriate behave of the state estimation algorithm. Present monitoring levels of distribution systems impede present state estimation algorithms to work properly. The scarce available measures within the medium and LV distribution network leads to a low visibility of the network state. The system comprises: a state estimation algorithm in order to obtain in real-time the most probable estate of the system from the measurements; a graphical interface which lets the user view the results of the estate estimation Use case 3: Voltage control in LV networks Voltage control improvement will be gained with the participation of power electronic devices and DG. A power electronic equipment (STATCOM) will be connected to the LV network. The STATCOM aims to stabilize the connection bus voltage by means of controlling injected or withdrawed reactive power from the control system. In the same way, generators connected to the network will be adjusted in order to make them respond to the control system actions. In the first step, the system control will show the optimal network state and the actions to carry out by the operator. Set points for STATCOM (on/off, reactive power or reactive power ramp set point, control mode) and for the controllable generator (on/off, active power injection, reactive power injection or withdrawal) will be sent. The monitoring system will allow the visibility of the system response. For different load and generation scenarios, some voltage control tests will be carried out. From these tests, general rules will be searched for voltage control in LV networks Use case 4: Voltage control in MV networks This Use Case is very similar to the Use Case 3. The only difference is the voltage level. In this case all the devices are connected at the MV level. V /07/16 33/46

34 9.1.5 Use case 5: Voltage control in High Voltage networks In this use case an analysis of the participation of generators in voltage control in the whole network is carried out by means of simulations with optimal power flow algorithms. Although the effect of voltage control by generators is a well-known issue in HV power systems control, it is not extended the participation of DG in voltage control services. Previous analyses carried out remark that the effect of injecting reactive power on bus voltages is different depending on the relation of the resistive and the reactance component of the line impedances. With the aim of establishing a comparison among the results obtained in other use cases and the effect of the participation of generation in voltage control services, some power flow and optimal power flow simulations will be carried out for different load and generation scenarios for HV, MV and LV networks. The analysis will determine the contribution of DG participation in voltage control. In addition to steady state voltage stability, the impact of increasing DG penetration in LV and MV on reactive power flows through the substations between transmission and distribution systems and HV/MV substations will be determined. For this aim, different approaches will be considered for DG participation on voltage control. 9.2 Italian Uses Cases Use case 1: Voltage regulation The scope of this function is to keep the voltage profile on a MV grid with DERs in the range defined by the norm EN minimizing operating costs. The voltage control algorithm resides into DMS. The Operation Control System (OCS) receives violation signals from the devices dislocated inside the substations where the generators are connected to. Economic evaluations and load/generation forecasts are additional inputs to the algorithm in charge of selecting the appropriate control actions. Load curtailment for MV customers is also taken into account by the algorithm. In MV feeders including DG, the power injected by DERs can lead the voltage beyond the limits in some parts of the grid. Control actions limited to the On Line Tap Changers (OLTC) of the substation transformers, as usually operated in passive grids, may be not sufficient to meet the supply requirements established by the norm EN Voltage profiles in the MV grid may be adjusted acting also on DER connected to the MV feeders as well as energy storage devices owned by the DSO.

35 9.2.2 Use case 2: Anti-islanding on MV grids The scope of this function is to avoid unintentional islanding operation in MV grid with DERs. In case of local balance between generation and load, LOM on a section of MV grid with DERs could not be detected by DERs local protection. Generators remain then connected to the MV grid creating an unintentional island. The consequences may be: safety hazards for personnel, auto reclosing failures and risks of damage for electric components. In order to avoid the creation of unintentional islands, the intervention of the primary substation circuit breaker, or of a circuit breaker located in a secondary substation along the MV feeder, is signaled to all interested DERs by the SCS. This message causes the disconnection of the interested DER generators from the grid Use case 3: Charging operations in presence of PV plant and Energy Storage System The scope of this function is to optimize the energy management and the load profiles and offer, when necessary, ancillary services to the distribution network. The PV plant, ESS and the EV recharge infrastructure will be used and coordinated to optimize the Energy management, load profiles and give ancillary services to the distribution network, such as active/reactive energy for voltage control purposes and loss reduction. The algorithm resides into a device managing the whole system locally. The Local Energy Control System is a device with interfaces capable to control all the actors involved in the process. There is a software that manages the whole system through control / management algorithms. Based on field measurements in terms of energy generation and consumption, the algorithms perform sequentially two different tasks: Planning of the operation set point for the ESS for one week horizon Controlling actions that allow the tracking of these operation set-point day-by-day based on proper sampling time The control actions are sent to Energy Storage System Use case 4: Customer Engagement The scope of this use case is to make customers active players on Smart Grids. Customers have to be considered as important players on the Smart Grids development. The objective is to make customers reduce their energy demand. With this aim, they are provided with real time and historic indicators to help them to make a decision and/or to modify consumption behaviors toward a V /07/16 35/46

36 reduction in the energy demand. The Smart Info kit offers the information to customers at any time. The Smart Info will be the interface between the end users and his energy supplier. This monitors the client energy profile combining information coming from upper layers of the electric system. This feedback allows end users to modify demand energy behaviors driven by economic and environment factors. Customers through the insight into their energy profile and the significant drivers of energy demand are able to make informed decisions and behavior modifications in order to optimize their consumption. The use case takes place at customer premises and inside his home Use case 5: Monitoring and Control of Active Distribution grid The electrical grid will no longer be an unidirectional channel transmitting and distributing energy from the conventional plants to the final users, but will be a Smart Grid enabling the interaction among producers and users, forecasting the demand and balancing the production and consumption of electric energy, taking into account dispersed generation located in the lower levels of the network. The scope of this use case is forecasting the DG on MV networks. Aggregating data according to the different sources (solar, wind, hydro, thermal and others). Forecasted production data and real-time measurements will be provided to the operators of DSO and TSO control centers to help them in Active network operation. The application must be fully integrated with the DMS and use information from different systems and data bases (e.g. network connection status, measurements, data coming from electronic meters, weather forecasts provided by third parties, etc.) The system follows the evolution of the network connection status, due to standard operations and fault management, and presents the requested data on operator demand Use case 6: Substation Automation The scope of this Use Case is to provide MV grid automation failure localization, failure isolation, alternative feed proposal and its realization, and return to standard conditions after failure recovery. The automation of the process is based on collaboration of IEDs (RGDM fault detector) and due to their protection functions and logical relationship among them. The objective is to demonstrate that automation equipment of the MV grid (IEDs) together with grid operator of superior SCADA supported will resolve failures on MV grid, minimize impact of the failure providing the alternative feed, and based on proposal of regional SCADA will return V /07/16 36/46

37 operation of MV grid to standard conditions after recovery from the failure. The IEDs can provide localization of the part of the grid affected by the failure, which is specified by the switches closest to the failure. Once a fault happens on MV line, the RGDM of the substation feeling the fault sends a block message towards the upstream substations, while it sends a trip message towards the downstream substations. The MV grid automation of failure management consists basically in the localization of failure and its isolation by turning-off of the affected part of MV grid. 9.3 Austrian Demo Uses Cases In order to maximize the hosting capacity for DG in a given MV network, voltage control as described in use cases 1 and 3 (see chapters and 9.3.3) can be used. Voltage control can also be used to maximize the hosting capacity for DG in a given LV network, as described in use cases 4, 5 and 6 (see chapters 9.3.4, and 9.3.6). Voltage Control fits best where the primary barrier for renewable integration is to maintain voltage limits in the existing grid infrastructure. Active voltage control can be an alternative to grid reinforcement as it delays or avoids the costs for grid reinforcement. Austrian demonstrator searches to maximize the share of the locally produced energy which is locally consumed. For that a component called BEA is used. It uses data from the local renewable generation (PV-inverters) and measurements from the local Smart Meter and can control home automation components, e-car charging station, or controllable local generation (micro CHP). This device is used in the use cases 7 and 8 (see chapters and 9.3.8) Use case 1: MV Voltage Control with State Estimator This use case describes one of two variants of MV voltage control tested in Austrian demonstration projects. The controller works on data from the MV state estimator and controls an OLTC as well as P and Q set-points of DERs in the network. Voltage information is estimated for the MV grids on the basis of only one 110 kv measurement. This data is sent to the voltage control algorithm on regular basis, or dynamically (change of switching status). The voltage control algorithm checks if an action is necessary and calculates appropriate settings for the On-load tap changer (position) and controllable DERs in the field (P and Q set-points). This data is then transferred to the relevant actors. The sequence of the commands to the actors considers intermediate states in the grid in order to avoid unstable system states. V /07/16 37/46
