TUTORIALS
Reliable and Cost-Effective Solar System Operations
and Maintenance (Tutorial)
Monday, April 10, 2023 1:00 PM-5:00 PM
Session Chair 1: Shijia Zhao, Argonne National Lab
As renewable integration and decarbonization expedite and
move to the next level, solar energy plays an increasingly
important role. A reliable and cost-effective operations and
maintenance (O&M) strategy for solar PV systems is critical
to achieve lower LCOE and increase PV competitiveness.
Sensor driven predictions on asset health enables an
improved understanding on asset failure risks and smart
just-in-time O&M policies that minimize interruptions and
failure instances. In this talk, we proposed an integrated
O&M policy that leverage industrial sensor data from
Inverters to enhance reliability and operational availability
of PV systems.
The Grid Edge is the Future, A Golden Future
(Tutorial)
Monday, April 10, 2023 1:00 PM-5:00 PM
Session Chair: Doug Houseman, 1898&Co
Utilities, customers, third parties, and other stakeholders
all see the grid edge as theirs. It is not, rather it belongs to
everyone, and everyone needs to cooperate. The grid edge is
where the major evolution of the grid to support the transition
will happen. Currently the edge is considered to be at
the meter with the utility owning what is on the grid side
and the customer what is on the customer side. The reality
is the grid edge is far more complex, and the thinking needs
to change. With building electrification, distributed generation
and storage, the need for far more sweeping demand
response programs and electrification of transportation the
grid edge will need to evolve. To start with metering, measurement,
control, investment, maintenance relationships,
and more need to change. This course will provide a view
into what and why the grid edge needs to evolve and the
value of doing so.
Grid-edge Optimization in Active Power Distribution
Systems (Tutorial)
Monday, April 10, 2023 1:00 PM-5:00 PM
Session Chair: Anamika Dubey, Washington State
University
April 2023 Show Issue
The proliferation of controllable grid-edge resources and the
deployment of advanced sensing and control technologies
in electric power distribution systems calls for coordinated
management of the grid's resources. This has led to a growing
interest in academia and industry alike on optimization
methods for the large-scale unbalanced power distribution
systems for improved operational efficiency and resilience.
This tutorial aims to introduce the state-of-the-art optimization
methods applied to unbalanced power distribution
systems and their use cases for distribution systems applications.
We will start with a discussion on the different models
for formulating the distribution optimal power flow (OPF)
problem and discuss their trade-offs. We will include handson
training on modeling the optimization problem using
OpenDSS and Matlab/Python for the IEEE test systems.
Finally, our industry partner, Opus One Solutions (leader
in power systems optimization), will present example application
of coordinating grid-edge resources for bulk-energy
market using their distribution system Optimization Engine.
