Frequency balancing and demand side resources • We need reliable and cheap frequency balancing resources due to the rise of renewable generation • Existence of 22 demand side aggregators present in Great Britain shows the interest system operators in smaller and distributed energy resources
Tele-Communications networks: Core BT offers Service Level Agreement guarantees: “On all BTnet Leased Line products, our Service Level Agreement guarantees you a latency of less than 20ms (measured from core UK node to core UK node)” Kitz,“BT 21CN - Network Topology & Technology”, [Online] Available: http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/21cn_network.htm, accessed 2017
According to AT&T, latencies for deployed 4G networks is 40-50ms Tele-Communications networks: WAN Ilya Grigorik, “Mobile Networks”, PERFORMANCE OF WIRELESS NETWORKS, CHAPTER 7, 2013. [Online] Available: https://hpbn.co/mobile-networks/, accessed September 2017
ZigBee is the most well known mesh network technology • Low performance (250 kbits/s) • Uses shared spectrum • Uncertain reliability Tele-Communications networks: NAN
ZigBee is also a technology that is widely used in the house network • Uses shared spectrum • Uncertain reliability Tele-Communications networks: HAN
Performance of tele-communications • The overall latency for an activation signal is between 1 and 4.5 seconds
Requirements of ancillary services in UK • We need a response to a frequency deviation within 10 seconds for primary frequency response • UK’s enhanced frequency response expects a sub second response
Conclusions • Communications is the enabler of the smart grid which makes it possible for Domestic loads to be part of ancillary services • The role of DSM in ancillary services will depend on the communications technologies used
Future work • Analysis of the impact communications can have on frequency balancing using a RTDS based power system -communications test-bed
