  1. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis Research activities Linked to the Microcheap Area 1 Integration of distributed generation 2 Biomass-hydrogen 3 Modelling the impact of dispersed generation on low voltage grids

  2. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis 1 – Research activities linked to the integration of distributed generation • General objectives : • To assess the technical and economical constraints linked to the integration of dispersed electricity generation into electricity grids • To develop specific control algorithms, including prediction techniques, in order to help better and larger integration of RES • To develop simulation tools

  3. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis 1 – Research activities linked to the integration of distributed generation Ongoing EUROPEAN PROJECTS : • MicroGrids and More MicroGrids • Control algorithms for microgrids • RISE : • Integration of DG in Croatia and east balkan coutntries • DINEMO • Integration of DG in Pre-accession countries

  4. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis 1 – Research activities linked to the integration of distributed generation Links with MicroCheap : • Most of the european "integration projects" consider only RE systems (wind, PV, solar, …) and "classical" micro-cogen (fossil driven) • A link is easy to make if simple models are available for biomass micro-cogen units

  5. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis 2 – Research activities linked to the Biomass-Hydrogen chain • Objective : • To analyse and to develop new technologies for the biomass-hydrogen transformation • To analyse and to develop PEM FC based systems for cogeneration

  6. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis 2 – Research activities linked to the Biomass-Hydrogen chain Projects • Catalytic reforming of bio-ethanol • Reforming processes in cold plasmas • Gazeification of solid biomass (collaboration with the Center for Energy and Environment in Albi and with the N-GHY company, a startup in fuel processors for fuel cells) • Project EPACOP, test in real conditions of 5 demonstration plants, equiped with 5 kWe PEM FC (using natural gas).

  7. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis 2 – Research activities linked to the Biomass-Hydrogen chain Links with MicroCheap : • Research is today focussing on technological bottlenecks • MicroCheap could help to compare various cogeneration chains : • NG/turbine or engine • Biomass/H2/FC • Biomass/Stirling • … In terms of efficiencies, emissions, …

  8. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis • Objective : • Under an hypothesis of massive integration of small distributed generation systems in low voltage grids, to assess the compatibility of electricity injection with technical grid constraints • Methodology : adaptation of classical load flow grid modelling to the case of distributed electricity injection • Tool developped : JPelec 3 Modelling the impact of dispersed generation on low voltage grids

  9. JPélec : a mini-grid simulation tool for steady-state studies • Load-flow calculation (Newton-Raphson algorithm) • Classical power network components • Renewable energy and distributed generation components • Simulation over 24 hours with one hour time-step • Graphical user friendly interface • Accurate models • Weather module to estimate radiation on inclined plane • Free (cf www-cep.cma.fr/Public/title_soft/title_soft_jpelec/view) • This software is dedicated to 3 types of users : • engineering and design departments • universities • research centers

  10. Renewable energy and ditributed generationcomponents Classical power network components ‘Basic data’ sheet of PV field dialog box ‘Expert user’ sheet of PV field dialog box A mini-grid simulation tool for steady-state studies

  11. Simulation and view options A mini-grid simulation tool for steady-state studies

  12. Center for Energy and Processes (CEP)Sophia Antipolis Links with MicroCheap : • At the moment, only models for RE and fossil cogen units • Easy link with MicroCheap : to develop models for the various biomas/cogeneration alternative 3 Modelling the impact of dispersed generation on low voltage grids
