Abstract
The proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), and increasingly savvy prosumers are transforming the convectional hierarchical and top-down approach of power system management, towards bottom-up decentralized management. The traditional electric distribution network operators (DNO) are experiencing adverse impacts of this unprecedented change, triggering significant reorganization plans. Consumer-centric market structures are evolving as a suitable alternative to coordinate distributed decision models incorporating a wider variety of participant groups that fulfil diverse and changing roles. The emergence of transactive control techniques along with the advances in technologies like blockchain have been key enablers of this visionary concept. The focus of this dissertation is to develop transactive coordination strategies and evaluation frameworks to facilitate the industry better understand the value of these market structures. Towards this goal, we make the following three major contributions in this dissertation.
First, we develop an integrated DER-to-grid coordination strategy that would integrate device-level DERs on the distribution grid to participate in wholesale electricity markets. This architecture is realized through a co-simulation framework to study the closed-loop interaction of high penetration of DERs with the bulk power system are investigate the true value and impact of TE systems for key participants and stakeholders. Second, we propose a transactive architecture to empower prosumers through community-based coordination. An agent design scheme is presented that can determine anticipated and instantaneous flexibility are designed. The proposed community-based coordination is solved using distributed optimization to demonstrate how such community-based markets can be effectively integrated with the DSO. We also develop a co-simulation framework to evaluate the market architecture with high fidelity scenarios. Additionally, a robustness methodology is implemented to handle imperfect communication systems with arbitrary time delays. Third, we develop a CIM-based data integration and simulation platform by standardizing the interfaces of a utility’s existing enterprise systems. The implementation of the transactive coordination strategies on the platform provides a proof-of-concept for the adoption of advanced applications to support future distribution systems.
