Demand side participation for frequency containment in the web of cells architecture

Abstract

Abstract-A large number of demand side management schemes have been proposed in literature for provision of frequency control ancillary services to the network. However, it is assumed that all the flexible devices within the network are managed and controlled under one demand side management (DSM) scheme. In this paper, two independent demand side management schemes control the portfolio of flexible devices within a web of cells architecture. A methodology and scenarios for analysis of the performance of more than one DSM scheme within the same network have been realized using a real-time power hardware-in-the-loop co-simulation platform, and the paper presents this as a basis for investigations of such arrangements.Keywords-Ancillary services, demand side management, transactive energy markets and real-time power hardware-in-theloop simulation.

Transactive energy: A review of state of the art and implementation

“…The results shown in the paper validate the capability of PM to provide frequency control using a transactive energy market to coordinate demand and generation profiles. The transactive energy market architecture and simulation platform of the demand side management are also used in [24] to facilitate the plan for the performance analysis of the demand side participation for frequency containment within a web of cells architecture as shown in Fig. 6.…”
