Abstract
Systems and methods are provided, which facilitate operations planning, dispatch, regulation control, and autonomous control performance. The disclosure also facilitates systems and methods for utilization of synthetic primary frequency response, synthetic inertia, regulation and load following/ramping reserve capabilities from Demand Response and Distributed Energy Resources for balancing demand and supply and maintaining frequency levels across a power grid.
Claims14
A method for regulating the electrical grids and grid-connected devices comprising the following steps:
- configuring a load control switch to turn a simple load on or off based on droop threshold or droop dead-band;
- configuring an intelligent controller to set-point a complex load based on droop threshold, droop dead-band, or a control set-point downloaded from grid services management;
- configuring an intelligent controller to set-point distributed storage & generation;
- and utilizing primary frequency response to accomplish autonomous control.
A system of regulating the electrical grids and grid-connected devices comprising:
- a computer having a memory and a computer program running in the memory, the computer program configured to:
- configure a load control switch to turn a simple load on or off based on droop threshold or droop dead-band;
- configure an intelligent controller to set-point a complex load based on droop threshold, droop dead-band, or a control set-point downloaded from grid services management;
- configure an intelligent controller to set-point distributed storage & generation;
- and
- utilize primary frequency response to accomplish autonomous control.
