Field Experiment for a Prequalification Scheme for a Distribution System Operator on Distributed Energy Resource Aggregations

초록

The purpose of this paper is to summarize and share the field experiment results of KEPCO’s project consortium to create a TSO-DSO-DERA interaction scheme. The field experiment was conducted based on the prequalification algorithm proposed in previous research from the same consortium, and was designed to verify the validity of the algorithm under realistic grid conditions. In addition, during the course of the field experiment, it was found that points that were missed or not given much importance in the existing prequalification algorithm could affect the completeness of the overall system, and then practical improvements were made to improve this. The demonstration results confirm that the proposed algorithm is effective in real-world grid environments and can help DSOs to ensure the reliability of the distribution system while supporting DERA’s participation in the wholesale market using the proposed prequalification scheme. © 2023 by the authors.
