An Adaptable Engineering Support Framework for Multi-Functional Energy Storage System Applications

A significant integration of energy storage systems is taking place to offer flexibility to electrical networks and to mitigate side effects of a high penetration of distributed energy resources. To accommodate this, new processes are needed for the design, implementation, and proof-of-concept of emerging storage systems services, such as voltage and frequency regulation, and reduction of energy costs, among others. Nowadays, modern approaches are getting popular to support engineers during the design and development process of such multi-functional energy storage systems. Nevertheless, these approaches still lack flexibility needed to accommodate changing practices and requirements from control engineers and along the development process. With that in mind, this paper shows how a modern development approach for rapid prototyping of multi-functional battery energy storage system applications can be extended to provide this needed flexibility. For this, an expert user is introduced, which has the sole purpose of adapting the existing engineering approach to fulfill any new requirements from the control engineers. To achieve this, the expert user combines concepts from model-driven engineering and ontologies to reach an adaptable engineering support framework. As a result, new engineering requirements, such as new information sources and target platforms, can be automatically included into the engineering approach by the expert user, providing the control engineer with further support during the development process. The usefulness of the proposed solution is shown with a selected use case related to the implementation of an application for a battery energy storage system. It demonstrates how the expert user can fully adapt an existing engineering approach to the control engineer's needs and thus increase the effectiveness of the whole engineering process.

In the European demonstration Project InterFLEX, five different demonstration sites are realized with a focus on flexibility services from energy generation and demand. The use of flexibility for grid and generation-supply balance management is a key factor in renewable-based electricity systems. However, the way such flexibility services are activated from an ICT perspective requires harmonization across Europe. As s step on this way, this paper proposes a methodology based on the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) to study cross-demonstrator ICT interoperability and show its application in the InterFLEX context. This is a multi-player environment with Distribution System Operators (DSOs), aggregators, Electric Vehicle (EV) charging operators and other actors, providing a representative overview of contemporary flexibility use and implementation options. In particular, a SGAM clustering approach is set up in order to group devices and actors within common entities. The results of this analysis show that the use-cases and interfaces are comparable between the demos, however the chosen solutions and protocols are manifold and very demonstrator-specific. Future candidates for future selection of interfaces and protocols from an InterFLEX point of view are discussed.

“…The basic idea of the SGAM is to provide a framework for describing Smart Grid systems on all five layers in order to provide a certain level of completeness. A brief description on the individual Interoperability Layer is given in the following on basis of [48]. A more detailed description of the underlying concepts can be found in [20].…”

“…For the sake of clearness, the concepts on how to obtain a Reference Architecture Model in context of the SGAM are summarized in Figure 13. More detailed considerations on the integration of these concepts can be found in [48]. Despite all mentioned issues, the NIST's detailed specification of particular actors and their interrelations provides a good blueprint for developing Smart Grid architectures.…”

Abstract:The development of Smart Grid systems has proven to be a challenging task. Besides the inherent technical complexity, the involvement of different stakeholders from different disciplines is a major challenge. In order to maintain the strict security requirements, holistic systems engineering concepts and reference architectures are required that enable the integration, maintenance and evaluation of Smart Grid security. In this paper, a conceptual approach is presented on how to enable the integration of security by design in the development of Smart Grid Systems. A major cornerstone of this approach is the development of a domain-specific and standards-based modelling language on basis of the M/490 Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM). Furthermore, this modelling approach is utilized to develop a reference architecture model on basis of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Logical Reference Model (LRM) with its integrated security concepts. The availability of a standards-based reference architecture model enables the instantiation of particular solutions with a profound basis for security. Moreover, it is demonstrated how such architecture models can be utilized to gain insights into potential security implications and furthermore can serve as a basis for implementation.
