Model local DC technologies for single services and assess its efficiencies

Implement local power balancing and system security of local DC grids for multiple service

Development of simulation platform for static and dynamic analyses

Identify key drivers for large energy deficits in low carbon supply systems and develop an ultrafast simulation platform for static and dynamic analyses

Identify key drivers for large energy deficits in low carbon supply systems

Analyze the cost of maintaining system security by the transmission system and modulate local DC grids to address the large energy deficits

UI-ASSIST: US-India collAborative for smart diStribution System wIth STorage

This project aims to develop and demonstrate the DSO functions for optimal utilization and management of DER by interfacing with DER control and microgrid control system as well as analysis of prototype feeders with high penetration of energy storage. The project also aims at addressing communication needs; data needs; security, including cyber-security; economy and resiliency issues; social issues; workforce requirements; policy recommendations; and suitable DSO functions considering seamless integration of μEMS and DSM functions.

Demonstration of MW scale Solar energy Integration in weak grid using Distributed Energy Storage architecture (D-SIDES)

This project targets to standardize design, analysis and deployment techniques to integrate energy storage systems to transform the solar integrated weak distribution system to a reliable, robust grid for increased renewable penetration in the near future.

Objectives

Transforming the passive low voltage distribution network into active and controllable smart distribution grid by establishing communication between the substations and the control center

Practical deployment of optimally configured storage systems at optimal distinct substations to improve the voltage profile of the system and to maintain uninterruptible power supply in the distribution system

Enhancing ancillary services to the conventional grid by providing virtual inertia response and fault ride through compatibility with the PV inverter

Indo-Danish collaboration for data-driven control and optimization for a highly Efficient Distribution Grid(ID-EDGe)

This project aims to reduce the dependency on the communication infrastructure and the information available from the third parties and a machine learning-based data-driven approach is designed to predict the system operation and configuration at different operating points. Further to secure, efficient and optimal operation of the entire distribution grid through a new developed robust optimization technique. The designed framework can sustain any change in the input parameters and make the overall system adaptive against any disturbance. Therefore, an uninterrupted supply to the loads in the most economical and efficient way can be assured with the aims of this project.
