What is islanding ?
Consider the power network as shown in fig.1
Now if we disconnect the line AB from the infinite transmission grid there will be an isolated region . The D1, D2 are power sources (eg : inverter , solar power cells ). The power generated in this region is fed to the island only.
We see that there no longer is any control over the island voltage at the bus X . Also there is no mechanism here for control of frequency.
This state is referred to as islanding.
Smart Grid is an automated, widely distributed energy delivery network characterized by a two-way flow of electricity and information, capable of monitoring and responding to changes in everything from power plants to customer preferences to individual appliances.

Reactive Power Sharing Droop Control Strategy for DG Units in an Islanded Mic...IJMTST Journal
The proposed method mainly includes two important operations: error reduction operation and voltage
recovery operation. The sharing accuracy is improved by the sharing error reduction operation, which is
activated by the low-bandwidth synchronization signals. However, the error reduction operation will result in
a decrease in output voltage amplitude. Therefore, the voltage recovery operation is proposed to compensate
the decrease., due to increasing the demand of electricity as well as rapid depletion of fossil fuels, and the
government policies on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions , renewable energy technologies are more
attractive and various types of distributed generation sources, such as wind turbine generators and solar
photo voltaic panels are being connected to low-voltage distribution networks. Micro grid is an integrated
system that contain in s distributed generation sources, control systems, load management, energy storage
and communication infrastructure capability to work in both grid connected and island mode to optimize
energy usage. The paper presents a advanced control technique for a micro grid system which works
efficiently under a decentralized control system.

Overview: Simulation Analysis of low voltage DC micro grid - An investigation...IJSRD
The micro grid concept has the potential to solve major problems arising from large penetration of distributed generation in distribution systems. The micro grid was designed to operate connected to the main network. The micro grid operated appropriately for different steady state operating conditions. A proper control strategy should be implemented for a successful operation of a micro grid. This paper presents a performance study of a dc micro-grid when it is used a voltage droop technique to regulated the grid voltage and to control the load sharing between different sources like Photovoltaic cell , Fuel Cell, Batteries, etc. Some aspects about centralized (master-slave) and decentralized (voltage droop) control strategies are presented. In this paper, the work done in the field of Micro Grid has been reviewed.
Dealing With Reactive Power in Islanded Micro Grid Corresponding Power Distri...ijtsrd
A Micro grid MG is a local energy system consisting of a number of energy sources e.g., wind turbine or solar panels among others , energy storage units, and loads that operate connected to the main electrical grid or autonomously. MGs provide flexibility, reduce the main electricity grid dependence, and contribute to changing large centralized production paradigm to local and distributed generation. However, such energy systems require complex management, advanced control, and optimization. Moreover, the power electronics converters have to be used to correct energy conversion and be interconnected through a common control structure is necessary. A classical droop control system is often implemented in MG. It allows correct operation of parallel voltage sourced converters in grid connection, as well as islanded mode of operation. However, it requires complex power management algorithms, especially in islanded MGs, which balance the system and improves reliability. The novel reactive power sharing algorithm is developed, which takes into account the parameters of the converter as apparent power limit and maximum active power. The developed solution is verified in simulation and compared with other known reactive power control methods. G. Amulya | Dr. S. V. D.

PROTECTION OF MICROGRID FROM HIGH IMPEDANCE FAULT USING DIFFERENTIAL RELAYijiert bestjournal
As source of traditional energy is vanishes day by day,importance of microgrid increasing very effectively. In traditional generation and transmission of electrical power we have to rely on frequency and generation of power but in case of microgrid we have to depend on whether condition. Managing these systems to change of atmospheric condition becomes challenging . All study going on all over world related to microgrid protection of microgrid is one of them. Micro grids can either operate connected to the grid,or in the case of a grid fault,in an islanded mod e. Effect of high impedance fault is studied in this paper,by taking help of Matlab - Simulink�s SimPower Systems . We model a microgrid containing mix of renewable DG and one dispatch able source,we then simulate the HIF fault at one of the bus in both gri d - connect and island modes and analyze fault currents and voltage levels in order to determine how the protection scheme of the distribution network would need to be changed to facilitate microgrid functionality. We show that standard protection methods ar e insufficient and propose the use of digital relays which is different from traditional system.

Analysis and Implementation of Power Quality Enhancement Techniques in Hybrid...ijtsrd
With the growth in global warming, renewable energy based distributed generators DGs play a prominent role in power generation. Wind, solar energy, biomass, mini hydro, and the usage of fuel cells and microturbines will provide substantial impetus in the near future. Environmental friendliness, expandability, and flexibility have made distributed generation, powered by a variety of renewable and unconventional energy sources, an appealing alternative for building contemporary electrical systems. A microgrid is made up of a group of loads and dispersed generators that work together to form a single controlled system. Microgrids, as an integrated energy delivery system, may function in tandem with or independently of the main power grid. The microgrid idea reduces the number of reverse conversions in a single AC or DC grid while also making it easier to link variable renewable AC and DC sources and loads to power systems. The connectivity of DGs to the utility grid through power electronic converters has raised concerns regarding equipment safety and protection. The microgrid may be configured to fulfil the customers specific needs, such as greater local dependability, reduced feeder losses, local voltage support, greater efficiency via waste heat usage, voltage sag correction, or uninterruptible power supply. The performance of a hybrid AC DC microgrid system in grid tethered mode is examined in this paper. For the creation of a microgrid, a solar system, a wind turbine generator, and a battery are utilized. Control methods are also included to allow the converters to appropriately coordinate the AC sub grid with the DC sub grid. The MATLAB SIMULINK environment was used to achieve the findings.

The energy sector is moving into the era of distributed generation (DG) and microgrids
(MGs). The stability and operation aspects of converter-dominated DG MGs, however, are faced by
many challenges. To overcome these difficulties, this paper presents a new large-signal-based control
topology for DG power converters that is suitable for both grid connected and islanding modes of
operation without any need to reconfigure the control system and without islanding detection. To
improve MG stability and to guarantee stability and high performance of the MG system during sudden
harsh transients such as islanding, grid reconnection, and large load power changes, a nonlinear MG
stabilizer is proposed. We propose a novel control topology for microgrids which can work in both grid
connected and islanding modes without reconfiguration so it does not require islanding detection
technique, the controller is based on the concept of synchronverter In this paper, a radical step is taken
to improve the synchronverter as a self-synchronized synchronverter by removing the dedicated
synchronization unit

2. China power cuts: What is causing the country's blackouts?
The country has in the past struggled to balance electricity
supplies with demand, which has often left many of China's
provinces at risk of power outages.
During times of peak power consumption in the summer
and winter the problem becomes particularly acute.
As the world starts to reopen after the pandemic, demand
for Chinese goods is surging and the factories making them
need a lot more power.
Rules imposed by Beijing as it attempts to make the country
carbon neutral by 2060 have seen coal production slow,
even as the country still relies on coal for more than half of
its power.
And as electricity demand has risen, the price of coal has
been pushed up.
But with the government strictly controlling electricity prices,
coal-fired power plants are unwilling to operate at a loss,
with many drastically reducing their output instead.

Protectional Challenges in AC Microgrid
23
24. 1: Short-circuit current Level
24
Fault current in an integrated mode of
operation
✓There is a sustainable difference in the SCC
level in both grid-connected and islanded
modes of operation.
✓This is because in the grid-connected mode of
operation, the fault current is contributed by
both utility grid as well as DGs that is shown in
figure.
✓However, in the islanded mode of operation,
the fault current is contributed by DGs only.
25. 2: False Tripping of Feeder
25
Direction of current in an false tripping
scenario
✓It generally occurs within the substation, if the
fault current of a feeder is assisted by the fault
current generated from a DG of a neighboring
feeder as depicted in figure.
✓Here, the protection scheme of the neighboring
feeder might work to isolate the circuit.
✓This is called false tripping or spurious
separation or unnecessary outage of feeder.
26. 3: Blindness of protection
26
✓ Feeder impedance increases with DG connection to
the network and thus the fault current limit is reduced as the
current level regulates by the impedance of the circuit.
✓ This further adversely affects the relay performance as
it decreases the operational zone of operation.
✓ These issues with the presence of DGs in a microgrid to
the variation of OCR (overcurrent relay) operating zone
with respect to feeder impedance change is known as the
blindness of protection.
Blindness of Protection
27. 4: Prohibition of automatic reclosing
27
Micro-grid system with automatic
recloser configuration
✓For the recloser operation, particularly in a radial distribution
system to clear the transient fault, the downstream part of the
recloser is disconnected.
✓In a DG integrated system, both DG and network supply
towards fault current.
✓ The network must be disconnected by the recloser as per
figure shown under fault conditions. However, the DG is still
there to provide the fault current.
✓ This leads to a recloser defect and it may convert transient
fault into a permanent fault. This is known as the prohibition of
automatic reclosing.
***Perhaps the most significant difference between a recloser and a breaker is that the recloser was
designed as a selfcontrolled device. Standards have been established and capabilities determined
within the characteristics of the integral control scheme of the recloser.

28. 5: Unsynchronized reclosing
28
Closer arrangement to avoid
unsynchronized reclosing
✓A closer is inserted between the two energized
systems during DG connection to a network as
depicted in figure.
✓The serious damage may occur to the DGs as
well as accompanied sensitive equipment due to
the connection without considering
synchronism e.g. unsynchronized reclosing.
29. 6: Reach of an impedance relay
29
✓The distance measured between the fault point and
the location of the relay is the major factor upon which
the reach of impedance relay depends.
✓The maximum distance means the range in which
minimum fault current is detected when the DG is
according to the define zone settings.
***The distance relay is also referred to as the impedance relay or distance protection element or voltage-
controlled device. It's working mainly depends on the distance between the impedances of the points where
the fault occurs and where the relay is installed (feeding point).
30. 7: Bi-directional Power Flow
30
✓The bi-directional power flow in feeders of a
micro-grid is one of the major challenges in case
of DGs integrated micro-grid.
✓ There is a possibility of power flows in the
reverse direction as power flows from both the
sources towards the load.
✓In a distribution system with a fixed generation
limit, when local generation level surpasses local
consumption level, there is a change in the
direction of power flow.
***Transformers are bidirectional devices, transformers don't know nor care which way power flows
through them. Transformer can pass real power from primary to secondary while simultaneously
passing reactive power from secondary to primary. Transformers are bidirectional.
31. 8: Sympathetic Tripping
31
✓ Sympathetic tripping occurs when the protective
device activates in the external protective zone during
the occurrence of faults assisted by the DGs.
✓ Two relays are operating in the system one after
another as illustrated in Figure.

Challenges in DC Micro-grid protection
36
37. 37
1: Fault current nature and direction
The nature of the fault current analysis is crucial
to design a protective scheme. There are two
types of faults associated with the DC micro-grid
system as:
• Pole to Pole (PP) fault, which is in the low
impedance category.
• Pole to Ground (PG) fault, which is in the high
impedance category.
38. 2: Difficult to co-ordinate between over-current relays
relays
38
✓Coordination of current-based relays in the DC
microgrid is a challenge to achieve and plays a
vital role in designing a reliable and safety
protection scheme.
✓This issue primarily arises due to the reduced
value of line resistance and a faster rate of
rising of the fault currents to its peak value
39. 3: Non-suitability of AC CBs
✓In distribution systems, ACCBs are used as a fault current interrupter
based on cross zero-point concepts in every half cycle and it has the
capability of clearing the fault in less than 10 milliseconds.
✓However, it fails to implement in DC microgrid due to the lack of a
zero-crossing point in DC fault currents.
✓Secondly, the DC microgrid needs a faster fault current interrupter
than the AC microgrid for the safety of voltage source converters
(VSCs)
39
40. 4: Change in short circuit level
40
✓In DC microgrid systems, the fault currents are restricted by the
converters and are normally lesser than the threshold value.
✓On the contrary, the short-circuit level and direction are also
affected by the different operational modes of DC micro-grids.
✓In the islanded mode of operation, the fault current is 5 times
greater than the threshold value, as DERs only contribute to it.
✓Whereas in the grid-connected mode of operation, both grid and
DERs contribute towards the fault current and so that it rises to 20-50
times more than the threshold value.
41. 5: Grounding
41
✓Grounding plays a very crucial role in DC microgrid to facilitate fault detection, to minimize leakage
currents, and to reduce common-mode voltage for personal safety.
✓Different types of fault characteristics give rise to different types of grounding and that affects the
relay setting and protection configuration.
✓At present TN, TT, and IT are the three types of grounding systems that are extensively used in the DC
microgrid system as depicted in figure.
43. 6: High sensitivity of the Inverter to fault current
43
✓The inverters within the microgrid have low current
capacity in comparison to the system fault current.
✓This issue is at an alarming condition under the grid-
connected mode of operation than in the islanded mode of
operation as the fault current level is low in this case.
✓This affects the sensitivity and coordination of current-
based relays which in turn may cause delays in the relay
operations.
44. 7: Non-zero crossing point
44
✓The CBs designed for the AC microgrid system
fail to implement in DC microgrid due to the
absence of a zero-crossing point at every half-
period.
✓The absence of the natural technique of
extinguishing an arc put forth this as a
challenging issue and need any additional
method to make the DC be zero.
45. 8: Connection and configuration between standalone
and integrated micro-grid
45
✓DC micro-grid provides a good energy option
for unreachable areas in standalone mode. The
converter calibration and controlling low
voltage ratings for the devices are the main
area of concern.
✓The uninterrupted supply in an integrated grid
can be achieved by altering different topologies.
✓The different topologies need more careful
consideration to protect the DC microgrid. In the
absence of other sources, power optimization
and utilization are another concern in the case
of standalone DC micro-grid.
48. 48 The existing protection schemes of the micro-grid should be designed and planned with
new approaches to get the new features like high reliability and security
The integration of DGs, ESS changes the characteristics of the overall system like
bidirectional power flow, low inertia system, and variable impedance, etc.
The short circuit current level changes drastically with a wide range from the grid-connected
to the islanded mode of operation.
The communication infrastructure are based upon two factors such as local information
without the communication and wide-area measurement with communication. However,
the combination of these two things affects micro-grid protection.
The time delay related to communication links plays a vital role in micro-grid digital
protection design.
The method of analyzing the distorted signal data and detect the fault on-time are another
major key factors in micro-grid protection.
Relay type and coordination of relays affect the complete planning of the protection
scheme in a micro-grid.

Protection challenges in smart transmission system
Technology Development Quality Power to All
Households
Reduction of Transmission
and Distribution Loss
Interoperability and Cyber
Security
Consumer Support
It is necessary to create a
new communication
infrastructure which is
resilient from attack and
highly reliable. Advanced
components like smart
appliances, smart
meters, efficient energy
storage devices, high
voltage DC transmission
devices, flexible AC
transmission system
(FACTS) devices etc. are
to be developed and
implemented.
A vast growth of power
system network is needed
for the next several years
for supply energy to all
households in a reliable
manner. The quality of
supply is also to be
ensured to fulfil smart grid
vision. The existing grid is
to be renovated and
expanded to ensure
quality supply to all
households.
The T&D loss are to be
reduced to world
standards. The main
factors which affect the
T&D loss are technical
losses due to weak grid
and financial losses like
theft and collection
efficiency reduction. The
utilities should have to
address these issues
seriously.
The interoperability and
cyber security can be
achieved only through
rigorous implementation
of various standards. The
interoperability standards
includes advanced
metering infrastructure
(AMI),, phasor
measurement unit
(PMU) communications,
physical and electrical
interconnections between
utility and distributed
generation (DG), security
for intelligent electronic
devices (IEDs),
One of the main
challenges in the smart
grid implementation is
lack of consumer
awareness about the issues
in the power sector.
Consumer support is a
must for implementation
of smart grid to reduce
peak load consumption
and promote distributed
renewable energy
generation. The smart
grid implementation will
improve quality and
reliability of power
supply.
India's T&D losses have been over 20 per cent of generation,
which is more than twice the world average.
51. 51
Protection challenges in smart generation system
➢ The fluctuating and unpredictable nature of renewable energy sources like solar
photovoltaic and wind mill require complex technologies to integrate with
existing smart grid.
➢ The harmonics developed from the complex power electronics circuits used for
integration also make many troubles in the power system.
➢ Other draw-back of renewable energy generation is requirement of large land
area.
➢ The reliability of protection circuits to isolate it from the existing grid whenever
required is a great challenge in the integration of renewable energy sources.
➢ Lack of technically skilled man power and wrong selection of optimal place for
implementation will also affect the renewable energy integration
53. Microgrid Control
Integrated control strategies refer to hierarchical
structures which usually consist of primary, secondary,
and tertiary control .
The primary control stabilizes the voltage and frequency
and offers plug-and-play capability for DGs.
The secondary control, as a centralized controller,
compensates for the voltage and frequency deviations
to enhance the power quality.
Tertiary control considers the optimal power flowing of
the whole micro-grids or interaction with main grid . In
addition, hierarchical control has other special functions:
1) distributed intelligent management system ; 2)
voltage unbalance compensation for optimal power
quality ; 3) self-healing networks ; 4) smart home with a
cost-effective energy ecosystem; and 5) generation
scheduling.
So, the hierarchical structure of micro-grids can be
regarded as an intelligent, integrated, and multi-agent
system. Power sharing comes under primary control.

56. Topological changes in network
56
1.Physical – The physical network topology refers to
the actual connections (wires, cables, etc.) of how the
network is arranged. Setup, maintenance, and
provisioning tasks require insight into the physical
network.
2.Logical – The logical network topology is a higher-
level idea of how the network is set up, including which
nodes connect to each other and in which ways, as well
as how data is transmitted through the network. Logical
network topology includes any virtual and cloud
resources.
What is a network?
✓ Reconfiguration
✓ Placement of switches and isolators
✓ Protection issues
✓ Load balancing
57. Execution of microgrid control hierarchy in both the modes of operation
57
Example:
✓All DGs operate on P/Q control
mode of operation during Grid
connected mode.
✓ Under islanded mode of operation
the master DG switched to U/f control
mode of operation.
✓ The slave DGs are under same P/Q
mode of operation.

Example:
✓All DGs are same and nobody is

✓ Works under drop control mode

✓ Droop characteristics of all the

✓ Droop control allows to work
independently for all the DGs
✓Control characteristics are greatly

✓ Bidirectional converter control (switching frequency regulation )
✓ Power balance control between the micro-grids (energy management)

compensation, voltage stability )
61. Balanced generation and loading in a microgrid
61
✓ Load shedding challenges
✓Load insertion challenges
✓ Resynchronization issues
✓ Balance power supply to
load
62. Low Inertia system
In a traditional power system, most of the power
generates from sources like coal, nuclear, hydroelectric
power. The common element utilized in those power
plants is the synchronous generator (SG), shown in Fig.
(a). The kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts of the
SG is a vital property for frequency dynamics and
stability.
A traditional power system can contribute inertia to the
power system. Inertia helps to limit the ROCOF
following a contingency event.
In a future power system, both RES and loads are
integrated into the grid through power electronic
converters, as shown in Fig. 3(b). Hence, the inertia of
the future power system is reduced as compared with
the traditional system.
62
ROCOF: Rate of change of Frequency
✓ frequency variation
✓ losses
✓ low damping capacity to oscillation
63. Non-linear and complex dynamics

✓ Nonlinear and robust

✓ Coordinated and

more fruitful
64. Frequency and voltage control, Reactive power management
64
✓ Many of the RES are not
generating reactive power
✓ In autonomous mode of
operation it is difficult to maintain
power balance that leads to
frequency and voltage control
✓ Deal with intermittent
generation is difficult
65. Communication , Wide area control challenges
65
• Central approach: In this strategy, a central controller is used
to regulate all the DG units. The controller computes the actual
load current demand and transfers this to the DG units and
also transfers the error voltages to all the involved units.
• Master/slave approach: In this strategy, the master module is
used to regulate the voltage control and transfer the reference
current to the slave module.
• Instantaneous current transfer approach: In this strategy, the
reference voltage and current signals are transmitted between
the DG modules.
✓ Security
✓ Reliability
✓ Energy management
✓Load management
66. Sub-synchronous resonance
66
✓System Modeling for Analyzing Sub-synchronous
Resonance (SSR) ... SSR is a state in which the power
system exchanges the energy with the generator
turbine at one or more frequencies below the
synchronous one where the synchronous frequency is
defined as the one corresponding to the rotor average
speed.
✓ During SSR, electrical energy is exchanged between
generators and transmission systems below power
frequency. It happens due to interaction of a series
compensated transmission line with a generator.
✓It results in oscillation in the shaft and power
oscillation.
Sub-synchronous resonance in Wind Farms
67. Control issues related to wind
Wind generation is less predictable as compared
to the solar system . The wind turbine is placed in
an isolated and remote area from the main grid.
This increases the economic cost and transmission
losses.
If the voltage loss is not calculated properly, the
load voltage would be low.
The motion of the wind is not constant over the
day or season. The wind blows strongly at night
and in the winter. When the production is excess
than the demand, the current flow in the opposite
direction which reduces the protection of the
loads. (MPPT control, pitch control, stall control)
To solve these problems, an extra
control is required to step down the
voltage.
Capacitor banks are used which store
the electric power and inject the
reactive power into the main grid.
The load current is decreased which
increases the load voltage.
Any variation of the wind produces
fluctuation of the voltage. This
fluctuation can not be solved by the
capacitor bank alone. It is replaced by
a static var compensator (SVR)
67
68. Control issues related to Solar
The production of electricity from the
solar becomes un-predictable with
the presence of the cloud on the
solar panel.
Due to the cloud, enough light can
not fall on the solar panel, which
reduces the production of the
electricity.
Rain is the other drawback for the
production of the electricity from the
solar system.
Again the generation of electricity is
correlated with the daily condition,
seasonal condition and the
characteristics of the area.
These uncertainties and variability of the
solar system produce a challenge to control
the main grid and requires an additional
technique to control the system. (MPPT
control, ESS coordination)
Again little adaptation is required for
installing a small solar PV. But with the
increasing of solar panel, the adaptation
increases and thus, increases the cost and
complexity.
Distributed solar plants do not provide real-
time generation data which make the
operation complex.
Voltage oscillation has an impact on the
solar generation due to lack of reactive
power generation.
68
69. Control issues in renewable energy resources
integration: In general
The microgrid generally very nonlinear in
nature due to the nonlinear dynamics of the
various distributed generations (DGs) and
unknown behavior of loads.
As many DGs are integrated with the micro-
grid having different characteristics, the
coordination control with mutual influence
is difficult.
To improve the fault ride through condition,
the energy storage devices have to be
controlled along with DGs. This leads to
develop a complex control strategy.
The reactive power support regulation
is another factor in micro-grid with DGs
not producing the reactive power.
Power quality issues are to be
emphasized more, as the harmonic
injection level is high due to many
reasons form power electronics
devices and nonlinear loads
particularly.
Topological changes makes difficult to
formulate a control strategy to cope
with the system changes.

71. Challenges from Demand Side Management
71
DSM is rightly defined as the planning,
implementation, and monitoring of utility
activities that are planned to
consumer/customer use of electricity in a
way that will produce desired changes in
the time pattern and magnitude of load
shape.
72. History of DSM and its evolution
72
After 2020: DSM developing further through IoT, Big data, Game theory, hybrid optimization techniques, etc.
2010-2020: DSM developed through various optimization techniques, machine learning, etc.
2000-2010: Developed market driven DSM or Demand Response schemes

1970: Initiation of Load Management at Distribution levels and Consumer end
73. 73 DSM in a smart grid ecosystem
Major component of DSM
74. Strategies used in DSM
74
DSM strategies that can be employed are generally categorized into:
Energy efficiency: Focused on the permanent improvement of load
consumption by reduction of the load profile at the device level
through energy efficiency enhancement measures.
Time of use: Division of fixed pricing from the utility, into a 24 hourly
time-period basis of several time intervals and allocation of dynamic
pricing at each time period.
Spinning reserve: The backup power available to the electric grid
system that can be put into effect for balancing discrepancy or
shortfalls between consumption and generation.
Demand response: Deviations in load consumption by end-user side
consumers from their standard usage patterns in response to the
change in unit tariffs, or on the basis of incentivized programs.
75. Residential Demand Side Management (RDSM)
DSM can be implemented at residential as well as commercial establishments in a
manner very similar to each other. Since residential loads are much more flexible
than commercial loads, they can implement DSM techniques in a much more
flexible way.
The DSM activity can be classified into a two-level process:
Level I:– Load shape modification
Level II:– End-user side modifications, alternative technological implementation,
and market implementation techniques
75
76. Load curve modification
The process of load shape modification can be implemented in several ways, where
the prime objectives are the minimization of peak curves and electricity unit tariffs:

81. Control challenges for DSM Implementation
Implementation of centralized controllers for both
the control decision and control activities to
achieve Direct Load Controls (DLCs), interruptible
tariffs, demand-bidding programs
Provision of a generalized DSM method to the
customers with greater control over their energy
consumption needs to be implemented.
The lack of enabling technologies, unavailability
of smart meters capable of two-way
communication, diversified consumer behaviour,
and the monopolism by the investor-owned
utility(IOU) holds back the DR implementation in a
widespread manner.
81
82. Renewable energy integration challenges
Lack of system scalability to overcome the multi-vendor problem, system
upgrade, and system expansion.
Integration of volatile power sources like wind and solar influence present
challenges to stable grid operation.
Proper billing tariffs according to the periods of peak usage need to be
implemented to reduce overdependence on primary grid power and shift to
renewable energy sources.
Large scale implementation of PV and wind installations are still not the norm and
hesitation of consumers to become prosumers greatly limits the power injection
capability.

84. Other challenges in DSM integration
Lack of a coordinated and efficient Information and communication technology (ICT)
architecture.
Competitiveness of robust traditional approaches as compared to DSM based
solutions.
Inappropriate market structure
lack of proper incentive programs.
84
85. DSM optimization Challenges
In DSM implementation, the focus is :
▪ To optimize the DSM architecture and workflow to ensure maximum efficiency in
utilization of energy consumption at residential premises
▪ To ensure maximum benefits to the consumer and utility operators at the minimum cost
of the process of energy supply and demand.
DSM optimization puts focus on :
▪ Reduction of PAR in energy consumption.
▪ Reduction of electricity tariff for the customer without compromising much on the user
comfort.
▪ Management and maintenance of privacy, security, and reliability.
85
86. How to bring about a more efficient DSM implementation
By usage of more robust or proven optimization techniques to complement standard
DSM applications.
By integration of more renewable energy sources and energy sources into the smart
grid ecosystem.
By architectural setup using more efficient and reliable communication protocols and
standards.
By introduction of a more market driven and market oriented approach to both
prosumers as well as consumers.
All of the above can be encapsulated in the form of a Virtual Power Plant
86
87. What is a VIRTUAL POWER PLANT?
A VPP is a conceptualised power plant made up of small DERs, controllable loads,
and Energy Storage Systems(ESSs) which operates on the principles of Information
and Communication Technology(ICT) to manage the dispatch and scheduling of
power and loads using a centrally managed cloud based software setup.
87
88. Why to consider VPPs?
The VPP is complementary to the traditional
power generation by formation of virtual
pools of sources of generation.
The VPPs have great flexibility in terms of fuel
selection (solar, wind, hydro).
The uncertainties of power demand can be
optimized by integration of local generation.
Improved and lower power generation costs
Reduction in emission of greenhouse gases.
Maximizing profits and sustainability.

consumption, the participation of VPP entities in market is crucial.
91
92. Issues in market oriented approach in a smart grid system
Power generation in most of the DGs involves uncertainties related to the operation,
characteristics, system flexibility to operate with synchronism, and adequate stability.
Standardization of protocols and rules in market environment for entities is a necessity
for ideal operation.
Complex market mechanisms can lead to inefficient coordination in participating
units.
Interconnection of multiple DGs and its coordination from an economic point of view
is a difficult task.
Varying tariff of electricity in deregulated markets can lead to confusion and
complexity.
Shortfalls/excess of generation of energy can lead to an unbalanced market.
92
93. Issues in market oriented approach in a smart grid
system... continue
Most DGs are placed in the distribution system. However, the wholesale markets
operate at the transmission level.
Market concepts require transmission sector development, corridor allocation, and
system operating principles, and standards. All these factors are either at the
developing stage or not conducive.
The security of supply, environmental protection, and social goals to provide along
with economic efficiency and energy policy in market design.
Accountability of independent regulatory authorities need to be emphasized for
better services.
Non-discriminatory Third Party regulatory entities need to be participate in the market
to form idealistic trading and prevent monopoly.

99. Smart Grid Challenges in India
High rate of growth in power sector is needed to support economic growth and
employment generation
Estimated demand by 2032 is 900 GW – almost quadrupling the existing capacity
Present the per capita consumption is one-fourth of the world average!
79 Million households yet to be electrified (2011 census)
To address the above challenges, the Indian power system is expected to grow 8-10% per
annum for next several decades - managing a rapidly growing power system of this size
requires smarter systems
India is pursuing one of world’s largest grid connected renewable energy programs
Integration of such renewable resources require smarter systems
India launched the National Electric Mobility Mission with a target of 6 million EVs by 2020
Successful rollout of EVs with required smarter systems
Reduction of T&D losses continues to be top priority of both Government and utilities
Smart grid technologies will increase visibility and control of power flows in in real time
Developed nations with reliable electric grids are investing in smart metering, data
communications and advanced IT systems and analytics, tools for forecasting, scheduling
and dispatching to further their smart grid journey…developing countries like India need to
invest in both strengthening the electrical network as well as adding communications, IT and
automation systems to build a strong and smart grid.

Signal processing applications to power system protection
Wavelet
Transform
•A wavelet is a mathematical function used to divide a given function or continuous-time signal
into different scale components.
Fourier
Transform
•A Fourier transform is a mathematical transform that decomposes functions depending on
space or time into functions depending on spatial or temporal frequency
Hilbert
Huang
Transform
•The Hilbert–Huang transform is a way to decompose a signal into so-called intrinsic mode
functions along with a trend, and obtain instantaneous frequency data. It is designed to work
well for data that is nonstationary and nonlinear.
S-transform
•The advantages of S-Transform are that it can observe how the frequency of the signal changes
with time and has a straightforward interpretability of the results. Furthermore, it provides multi-
resolution analysis while retaining the absolute phase of each frequency.
Mathematical
morphology
•Mathematical morphology is a theory and technique for the analysis and processing of
geometrical structures, based on set theory, lattice theory, topology, and random functions.
