Bi-Level Programming for Integrating Flexible Demand in Combined Smart Energy System

“…However, energy integration allows multiple options to meet customers' energy In return, customers with controllable demand, distributed generation and storage can adjust power flows in synergy with the upper network's needs to provide additional flexibility on the demand side [3], [4]. For example, the CoSES Laboratory in TU Munich emulates a small microgrid, in which the consumers are simulated as buildings with photovoltaic power (PV) generation, electric vehicle (EV) chargers and electric heaters [5]. The heat demand for these smart buildings can be supplied by heat networks and electric heating devices, such as electric boilers or heat pumps (HPs).…”

PHIL Infrastructure in CoSES Microgrid Lab

“…1 This allows the lab to perform experiments at the rated power levels of a LV distribution grid, while consuming only the power equivalent of the losses on the lines. As mentioned in [1], the lab is designed as 4 single family houses (SFH) and one multi family house (MFH) connected together in a distribution grid of flexible topology. For the electrical grid, each of these houses is realised as a LV distribution board which can be connected to any of the 10 LV buses using short CEE [2] connectors, as seen in Fig.…”

“…The Center for Combined Smart Energy Systems (CoSES) at Technical University of Munich (TUM) was established to address this gap by providing capability to emulate a small multi-energy microgrid with fully controllable electrical, heating and transportation network. The overall concept of the lab was introduced to the research community in [1].…”

PHIL implementation of a decentralized online OPF for active distribution grids

“…Detailed description of the electrical and control setup of CoSES can be found in [2] and [3]. A brief description, relevant to the scope of this paper, is provided in this section.…”

“…In this paper we present a PHIL implementation scheme and experimental validation of an online D-OPF method within the Center for Combined Smart Energy Systems (CoSES) lab. CoSES at TU Munich was established to research smart multienergy systems in an emulated environment [2]. The laboratory emulates a distribution grid through a PHIL system, [3] and therefore lends a valid platform to testbench the online D-OPF implementation in a realistic environment.…”
