DeCas – Demonstration der koordinierten Bereitstellung zukünftiger Systemdienstleistungen
In the future more and more conventional power plants, which provide ancillary services such as provision of reactive power for voltage control and primary control power (active power) for frequency control to the transmission system and thus secure the energy supply, are going to be replaced by renewable energy sources. Due to this fact new concepts for providing these services by renewable power sources will be necessary in the future to maintain stability of the network operation. This refers to the delivery of active and reactive power by distributed generation (DG) and distributed storage (DS). Beyond that DG and DS can be found nowadays in households or also called nanogrids. This research work presents a concept of a nanogrid that can provide ancillary services to the distribution grid in the low voltage level and transfer reactive power as well as primary control power to higher voltage levels by upscaling, which means the connection of many nanogrids. The implementation of the concept is done in a real system and also in a simulation environment that uses simplified mathematical models.
The massive development and implementation of small- and medium-scale generation units within the distribution grids result in novel needs and options for ancillary services. The project DeCAS develops solutions for the coordinated activation of ancillary cross-voltage-level services considering the different objective functions of individual voltage levels. This study aims to analyse, define and describe common requirements focusing on a technical, stakeholder and market perspective.
