  2. Outline Problem Proposed Solution: Use case Computing and data tasks Computing and data model Implementation strategy Summary & conclusion

  3. Problem Access to reliable and affordable electrical power supply for all • Increase generation • Extend access Traditional means => poor delivery reliability • SCADA • Intelligent Meters

  4. Use Case – 1/2 Design and demonstrate a prototype of an autonomous solar-powered LVDC nanogrid prototype, • Serving an off-grid community of 10-100 households • Can also be integrated in a higher voltage AC/DC grid if needed Automation of • Monitoring • Evaluation • Analysis • Control • Management Improve efficiency + optimize operational costs

  5. Use Case – 2/2 Scope • Power requirements analysis • Power harvesting solutions • Storage techniques • Control systems • Reliability and robustness • Monitoring and maintenance Challenges • Choice of communication technologies • Control architecture • Big data handling

  6. Computing and data tasks Monitoring & Measurement Technologies • PMU, GPS, Sensors • A lot of real time data – BIG DATA Performance Analysis Tools • Load flow analysis – peak load conditions, off-peak, components • Models and algorithms Stability Analysis Tools • Modeling power generation from varying resources (solar/wind) • Voltage stability study algorithm Computation Tools • Optimization – artificial intelligence, heuristics, neural networks Simulation Tools

  7. Computing and data model PMU Measurements • Bus voltage, bus current, phase, frequency, location Location Information • KML, satellite imagery Optimization algorithms • Neural networks, AI, heuristics Modeling Tools • Power generated (I-V) from RER e.g. PV-DesignPro

  8. Implementation strategy – 1/2 FutureGateway framework • To implement an iGrid Gateway • Provide a way to integrate tools for various stages of smart grid design Indigo DataCloud • Computing resources gLibrary • Provide easy access to collection of grid information i.e. topological information etc Open Access Repository • Sharing publications, sensor data, analysis documents Kepler Workflow Manager • Data manipulation components i.e. GeoData, GIS • Performing load flow analysis – integrating simulation tools • Sharing models

  9. Implementation strategy – 2/2 Implementing web interface of iGrid SG • Liferay-based • Skeleton with all sections for tools for different stages Setting up use case infrastructure – deploy virtual machine • Instantiating, installing, configuring the iGrid SG web portal Creating an instance of gLibrary with a sample collection Cloning an instance of OAR Installing and configuring Kepler

  10. Summary and conclusions Using tools to facilitate collaboration Integrating tools to facilitate • Design • Validation • Deployment • Operation • Maintenance … of LVDC nanogrid
