Methodology for comparing the performance of DER coordination schemes in providing frequency regulation
Conference Year
2023
Abstract
In this work, a novel methodology for comparing and quantifying the performance of different distributed energy resources (DER) coordination schemes’ ability to deliver frequency regulation services. The schemes considered include packetized energy management, fitness-based methods, and (direct load control) optimization-based methods. The criteria of interest include tracking performance, scalability of communication, scalability of computation, device availability, consumer quality of service, and impact on the device quality of service. Moreover, the fitness-based method is augmented with an ability to estimate the fitness values dynamically which significantly reduces the communication burden while maintaining the tracking capability.
