OBJECTIVE:
DEVELOPING BENCHMARK TEST SYSTEMS
 Determine modeling/testing criteria for existing
distribution feeders and planned pilot projects
 The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power and Energy Society
(PES) published the four radial tests feeders in 1991
 While some distribution test feeders have been developed in the past, they do not provide
the detail, flexibility, and diversity needed to advance the state-of-the-art for distribution
feeder with the integration of storage and DER.
 A test feeder is defined as a distribution system that can be used to represent the behavior
and performance of a real distribution network

10
 UI-ASSIST STUDENT GROUP

LIMITATIONS RELATED TO TEST SYSTEMS

 The public test systems have a limited set of information that restricts the
research activities for analyzing the performance of the new technologies
and the advanced control algorithms
 The IEEE's published test feeders and their available data is used for
studying the impact of DERS

11
 UI-ASSIST STUDENT GROUP

DESCRIPTIVE COMPONENTS OF DISTRIBUTION

 Distribution network main descriptive components are listed
below:
1. Primary voltage
2. Network length/total number of nodes
3. Number and size of loads
4. Peak load
5.Transformer size
6. General description

15
 UI-ASSIST STUDENT GROUP

CONCLUSION
 The Test Feeder Working Group of the Distribution System Analysis Subcommittee has been
designing and providing the open resources related to the distribution test feeders
 The PNNL taxonomy feeders used in DERs studies are reported in [3,4]and their study for
reliability analysis is given in [4,5].
 PV Interconnection Risk Analysis through Distribution System Impact Signatures and Feeder

I. INTRODUCTION
Multi Agent Systems (MAS) are independent,
intelligent agents.

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are outcomes of

advancements in information and communication
technology (ICT) .

Distributed control combines advantages of

centralized and decentralized structures.

Microgrids as MAS with distributed hierarchical

control aid in imparting flexibility, scalability and Fig.1. MAS : Interaction

1.Operational flexibility of DC and AC microgrids served as a

major factor

2.Adapt to changing conditions by fine tuning of errors,

ameliorate the functioning of the primary controllers

3.Rich mathematical background ,

(CONTD.)
Restricted passage of information among the interconnected neighbors in order to
vouch for lower bandwidth requirements.

The cyber/information layer is not bound to be similar to the underlying physical

connection in the microgrid. This cyber connection lays the ground work for the
cooperative control paradigm, wherein neighbors interactions can lead to a global
consensus.

Each agent only exchanges and periodically/event-based updates a set of control

variables with information from its neighbors at a particular sampling frequency that
determines the data bit rate of the communication channel.

This ensures that the average voltage is achieved at every node across the microgrid
and not only a specific bus or node voltage, as determined by the tertiary control thereby
achieving global voltage regulation.

SMART CITY BACKGROUND
 Smart cities – an innovation to provide sustainable solution when urban challenges
come from high quality service demand of infrastructure, energy, safety, health,
traffic, water usage and waste.

 An example of a smart city initiative is Urbanova (https://urbanova.org/). Urbanova

is a living laboratory located at University District in Spokane, Washington. Two
pilots, Smart and Connected Streetlight Pilot and Shared Energy Economy Model
Pilot, will be deployed in 770-acre area [1].
