The element of digital transformation of regional network – an aggregator

Abstract

PJSC “Rosseti” is forced to find new ways of getting additional income. It’s caused by the insufficient financing of network. But a lot of known and supported by network organizations initiatives are leading to the increase of network component in electricity cost for consumers. By the way the new subject, called demand side response aggregator in the UPS, is appeared in power engineering. This problem can be partially solved by the large regional network companies in case of them being an aggregator. At the same time, the efficiency of the aggregator function increases in case of using local power systems as a subject of the retail market as a regulatory resource. It’ll let to avoid the decrease of the power consumption and transmitted power volume, to increase the reliability and the quality of power supply due to reduce of power losses in network. It’s obvious, that the appropriate automation is needed as an element of the digital transformation of the electric network.

Reliability of distributed energy facilities

“…Особенно остро проблема сглаживания графика нагрузки проявляется на территории сосредоточения жилых домов, административных зданий, объектов культуры, просвещения. График нагрузки данных энергорайонов характеризуется низкой плотностью β = 0,5 -0,6 и неравномерностью α = 0,2 -0,3, что определило целесообразность управления спросом и создание Агрегаторов управления спросом на электрическую энергию в ЕЭС [11,14,15], средневзвешенный уровень цен на снижение нагрузки которыми в европейской части РФ и на Урале составил 321,5 тыс. руб.…”

A method for synthesizing and analyzing fault trees to improve the survivability of a demand response aggregator

“…Necessary conditions for maintaining the survivability of the system are the fulfillment of requirements for the trouble-free operation of its components, ensuring their redundancy or interchangeability, the use of adaptive algorithms for information interaction, and the organization of protective measures against undesired events (UE). This research focuses on the Demand Response (DR) Aggregator, which is a coordinating center in the demand-side management structure created to unite electric power entities not involved in the wholesale electricity market (WEM), which have their own excess energy resources for sale to the energy system [[2]- [5], etc.]. In today's context of the transition to intelligent energy systems (IES), each of these entities (a power plant, an industrial enterprise, a hotel, an apartment complex, and others) is a cyber-physical system (CPS), combining information, control, and technological components [6].…”
