TF2 - Experimental Validation of Interconnected mode of Operation (Labein)

In this task centralized and decentralized control strategies in grid interconnected mode will be demonstrated using the LV grid of Labein. This network will be also used to test communication protocols and components including aspects related to energy trading. A control and monitoring system build around WPE outcomes (derived from IEC 61850 standard) will be designed and prototyped. Centralised and decentralised control strategies resulting from agent software implementations will make use of these control and monitoring functions.

ZIV based on its newest line of hardware and software for distribution controllers will develop the intelligent modules embedding the re2quired functions to allow a full integration of each generating/load unit into the system. An estimated number of 10 micro source and/or micro load controllers (MC/LC) and one at MGCC will be built and installed. Each unit will specifically be interfaced via the existing serial communication protocol to the source / unit. The MGCC device will directly support the IEC61850 standandard towards both the downstream devices as well as the higher control level of the hierarchy
