“…This way, the performance of the control algorithms could be investigated extensively. In addition, the case of no control is FIGURE 12 HiL simulation setup with the grids simulated on the RTS also plotted in the graphs to indicate the grid performance without control. Figure 13a compares the performance of the CVC vs OPF algorithm.…”

“…While the CVC is a standalone application, typically based only on the actual voltage values, the OPF is inspired by MATPOWER [11]. The algorithms are configured based on the data models according to IEC 61850‐6, as explained in the author's previous work [12]. Although the original idea was to validate the implemented algorithms in a field test, it was then expanded to experimentally check the validity of the algorithms in different real‐world grids.…”

The drastic increase in distributed energy resources (DERs) leads to challenges in the operation of distribution systems worldwide. While several solutions for grid monitoring and control are available on the market and in literature, this research is the first of its kind aiming to supervise the grid by providing a modular configurable unified hardware and software architecture. The control algorithms are configured using data models according to IEC 61850‐7‐3 and IEC 61850‐7‐4. The novel system architecture is a portable, modular and flexible architecture that aggregates smart grid control functions onto a standardised hardware platform, emphasising the need for hardware independence. The central controller contains several smart grid control functions and the various field devices are distributed across the distribution grid. This paper deals with the simulation of different real‐world distribution grids on the Real‐Time Simulator (RTS) and experimental verification of the control algorithms. Smart grid control functions such as Coordinated Voltage Control (CVC) and Optimal Power Flow (OPF) are experimentally verified on a German grid. The grid dynamics are compared when the central controller executes the CVC against the OPF implementations. The experimental results, advantages and challenges of each control are presented here. The results also showed the variation in grid behaviour when the control parameters were varied. The paper also shows that the algorithm and the choice of the control parameters depend upon the distribution grid's complexity and the system operator's individual needs. The results illustrate the potential of such a universal distribution automation solution for system operators worldwide.

This paper describes how flexibility of medium voltage systems can be used for operation of high voltage systems. This is explained using the example of a congestion management system for high voltage networks developed in the research project IDEAL. First, it is explained to what extent flexibility is required for high voltage system operation. After that, the entire congestion management system with flexibility of medium voltage systems is presented. Then, methodology for observability analysis, state estimation and determination of flexibility potential is shown. Finally, the implementation of the methodology in two real medium voltage systems is described.
