The phasor-based modeling approach was chosen because the resulting microgrid model would yield faster simulation run times when compared to models developed using electromagnetic transient (EMT) methods. Beyond the benefits of simulation performance, this becomes necessary when attempting to understand dynamic phenomena arising under emergency conditions across time scales ranging from milliseconds to hours, which will aid in developing resiliency improvement plans for the real-world campus microgrid that the model represents. Considering the increasing number of distributed energy sources (DERs) being added to power grids across the world and the paradigm shift on how electrical grids can operate with more DERs, the implementation of such a microgrid campus model can help in the development and testing new control strategies to support new operational approaches while guaranteeing system stability and resiliency. The added benefit of having the microgrid model in Modelica is that it can be simulated in any Modelica complaint tool (both proprietary or not), preserving an open-source code, unlocked for the user to explore and adjust the implementation as well as observe and edit the mathematical formulation. This enables not only nonlinear time simulation, but also linear analysis techniques and other approaches to be applied.","PeriodicalId":162383,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th Workshop on Modelling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116620685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, service from Texas’s electric grid, ERCOT, has been seeing increases in power demand due to a growing population, increased air conditioning use, and pushes for electrification across other industries. The electrification of vehicles will only add to this demand increase. This paper focuses on evaluating different EV adoption, charging management, and policy scenarios, and how they will be expected to impact ERCOT, particularly with respect to peak demand increases. A strong increase in peak demand makes it more difficult for grids to serve power demand at all times, making it an important consideration when seeking to electrify a sector as energy intense as transportation. This paper introduces preliminary results from modeling relevant baseline scenarios and provides insight for future models to build off of. The anticipated impacts of EV adoption on peak demand are quantified using ERCOT’s data on past generation and planned installations, the approximated effectiveness of EV incentives, EV charging profiles, and travel patterns. The results showcase the fact that the achievement of ambitious EV market share goals will be manageable on a statewide level regarding electricity supply into 2030, but will eventually necessitate ambitious charging management strategies in order to limit the EV fleet’s potentially heavy impact on peak demand looking forward into 2050 and beyond.","PeriodicalId":162383,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th Workshop on Modelling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126945306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key to this structure is a unifying notion of an interaction variable between components/subsystems and the neighbouring sub-systems within a multi-layered CPS. The higher-level aggregate model derived in terms of unifying energy and power dynamics explicitly captures dynamic interactions of interest. In this paper this structure is utilised further to formulate a distributed interactive algorithm for simulating dynamic interactions and for aligning them according to generalised Tellegen’s theorem. Proof of concept simulations are bench-marked against the centralised simulations of a simple DC circuit serving constant power load (CPL). Notably, the simulation results reflect the underlying physics and explicitly capture oscillations between neighbouring modules. This algorithm lends itself to multi-layered parallel implementation by means of minimal information exchange. As such, it supports simulating complex electric energy systems, in particular power-electronically controlled DC micro-grids, and, more generally multi-energy systems.","PeriodicalId":162383,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th Workshop on Modelling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116661896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Holistically analyzing grids is therefore increasingly challenging. Co-simulation, i.e. the coordinated execution of independent subsystem simulators, is inherently well suited to handling these challenges. However, the computational needs of calculating power flows within the simulated grid may limit the scalability for large-scale co-simulations. Recent advances in quantum computing offer a potential solution to these concerns: The computing paradigm‘s potential for exponentially speeding up power flow has been shown. To utilize these capabilities for smart grid simulations, we propose quantum–classical co-simulation: integrating simulators running on quantum hardware with an otherwise classical co-simulation. Specifically, we focus on exploiting quantum power flow in smart grid co-simulations. This concept is promising for applications that require comprehensive grid simulation and whose scalability is impeded by the computational properties of power flow. This paper highlights the concept of quantum–classical co-simulation, and advocates for its criticality and applications in supporting smart grid analytics. We encourage and facilitate research by recommending a five-item research roadmap. We also provide a detailed discussion on the potential obstacles in implementing this concept, to help bring its theoretical value to practice.","PeriodicalId":162383,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th Workshop on Modelling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123955195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The limited capabilities (e.g. inertia, over-current) of PEIG, together with their location and technology-specific designed control systems, alter the dynamic properties of different types of stability phenomena, e.g. sub-synchronous oscillations (SSOs). A poorly damped SSO can emerge, within a sub-second time scale, through conflicting inter-actions between the controls of PEIG and the dynamic response of the surrounding electrical network. This paper focuses on the modelling and assessment of such interactions, with emphasis on the integration of large-size full converter (a.k.a. type-4) based wind power plants (WPPs). By combining different analysis tools, the implemented model supports sensitivity assessment of the occurrence and observability of a poorly damped SSO. State-space model based eigenanalysis is iteratively used to ascertain damping variability of a dominant SSO, excited by inappropriate controller settings of the WPP. Power spectral density (PSD) analysis is used to qualitatively estimate the degree of observability of the poorly damped SSO across different buses of a CEPS.

For each step, we show how the generated data from CPGrid-OT can be utilized for resiliency analysis and incident response; (2) we further demonstrate how the generated data can be used to validate advanced tools such as CP-TRAM and SyncAD.

Consequently, the need for rapid and effective modeling and simulation of such integrated systems is becoming critical. This requires modeling a approach that offers capabilities for multi-domain simulation that allows to model coupled phenomena accurately. This work focused on developing a proof of concept of such multi-domain models by designing a nominal model of a nuclear power plant balance of plant (BOP) system using the Modelica libraries. To model the thermofluidic domain, three libraries are evaluated, namely, ORNL’s TRANSFORM, Modelon’s ThermalPower, and Casella’s ThermoPower. Next, the thermofluidic model is coupled with an electrical grid model built using the OpenIPSL. To understand the tradeoffs of each library, the response of each different model to power transients in the nuclear power plant was analyzed. Simulation results and modeling methods were compared. The BOP model in TRANSFORM was found to be stiff and may require more detailed component models, e.g. condenser and feed water heater, to model the BOP more realistically and rapidly.","PeriodicalId":162383,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th Workshop on Modelling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116694196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
