Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Electric Transportation in Distribution Systems
This presentation will provide an overview of industry-leading practices for the integration of DER and electric vehicles in distribution systems, including the following aspects:
1. Review of DER and electric transportation technologies: including in front and behind-the-meter DG, BESS, microgrids, VPP; relevant standards; metering and compensation approaches; electric vehicles and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).
2. Impacts of DG integration: including steady-state and dynamic/transient impacts such as voltage increase, voltage fluctuation, reverse power flow, line and equipment loading increase, losses increase, power factor modification, reactive power flow modification, operation increase of voltage control and regulation equipment (line voltage regulators, load tap changers, and capacitor banks) current/voltage imbalance increase, power quality impacts, and overcurrent/overvoltage protection issues.
3. Impacts of EV integration: including line and equipment loading increase, low voltage violations, current/voltage imbalance, power factor modification, losses increase, load and power factor modification, transformer life-cycle impacts, etc.
4. Mitigation measures for DG and EV integration: including classic and smart grid solutions such as reconductoring, express/dedicated feeders, modification of settings and operation modes of voltage control and regulation equipment (line voltage regulators, load tap changers, capacitor banks), dynamic volt-Var control, active power curtailment, smart inverter functions (volt-Var, volt-Watt, voltage and frequency ride-through), applications of distribution class power electronics devices (STATCOMs, etc.), feeder reconfiguration, advanced protection solutions (e.g., Direct Transfer Trip (DTT), directional protection, etc.), etc.
5. Benefits of DER and EV integration: capacity/investment deferral, voltage/frequency regulation and reactive power support, efficiency improvement, reliability/resiliency improvement, emissions reduction, energy arbitrage, etc.
6. Industry trends: DER hosting capacity, NWA, value of DER and value of the grid.
