GridEye Scalable Transactive Distribution Systems

GiSTDS stands for GridEye Scalable transactive distribution systems. The concept of transactive distribution systems is uninvited upcoming structure of the future distribution systems. Therefore, this project by assuming this type of energy systems certainly are the future of energy systems proposed modern solutions to control distribution systems in an optimal manner. Throughout transition from traditional distribution networks to transactive distribution systems, private end-users will equip themselves to distributed energy resources such as renewable based and fuel based energy generation units. Therefore, the consumer nature is completely developing towards prosumers. Integrating of prosumers in distribution systems creates different aspects of communities such as microgrids which are able to produce their own consumption within a territory. In this regards, GiSTDS proposing a comprehensive real time control energy management assets energy suppliers, and distribution system operators to handle energy interactions and optimal control of resources. The main modules that are provided through GiSTDS project are: i) Real-time control of energy consumption, production of renewable energy resources within the operating time period ii) Optimal control and energy management of resources within the distribution grid regarding network constraints as a real-time scheduling systems iii) Implementing smart grid monitoring devices for gathering data and empowering control scheme by using cleaned real data and iv) proposing energy trading scheme within the active distribution systems considering technical and economical constraints of the entities.

Project objective

Coordination of different players in active distribution systems by increasing the penetration of distributed energy resources and rapid advances on the aggregators, microgrids and prosumers with private territory individuals establishes new challenges in control and management systems from the owners’ point of views. Undertaking digitalization of future distribution systems, GiSTDS introduces an edge computing framework based on GridEye, the core production of DEPsys, which provides real time visibility and monitoring. Relevant drawbacks in the distribution system management platforms in handling the scalability of players, look ahead preventive management systems regarding contingency condition and lack of physical boundaries for third party entities (aggregators) will be addressed by GiSTDS. The main novelties of this project in comparison to the GridEye are: 1) Developed P2P trading module provides automated double auction negotiation in real time fashion which enables all private entities with and without specific physical boundaries to participate in local and flexible electricity markets. 2) Modification of GridEye’s modules to address the scalability and resilient operation in both the normal and contingency conditions. 3) To present a look ahead energy managements schemes for the operators, GiSTDS will be equipped to the forecasting module based on auto-regressive with exogenous variables (ARX) and machine learning techniques such as long short term memory (LSTM) and recursive neural network (RNN). Therefore, GiSTDS based on modified and developed modules explores comprehensive distributed framework for control, monitoring and operation of energy systems with multiple dispersed players in different scales. The edge computing solutions in GiSTDS eectively digitalis energy systems and creates major opportunities in terms of avoiding big data concerns and getting a bottom-up monitoring approach for the network supervision.
