Creating LV network templates Gavin Shaddick 5th November 2012
Outline • Why do we need LV templates • Monitoring and data • Statistical analysis • Overview • Clustering methodology • Classification • Results from summer 2012 • Future developments
Acknowledgements • Electrical and electronic engineering • Furong Li • ChenghongGu • Ran Li • Mathematical Sciences • Haojie Yan • WPD • Mark Dale
Why do we need LV Network Templates? • New Challenges • Lack of real data/ understanding of the LV Network • Assets on the network are expensive • Growing consumer market • more connections • Consumer Prosumer adopting more green technology e.g. PV, SHP LV Network Templates
Data Substation SMOS Fixed data Generation Wales Arbed PV
How are we monitoring? Pole Mounted Sub-station Enclosure Street Furniture: Haldo Pillar EDMI Customer Monitoring Ground Mounted 800 Sub-station Monitors 3500 Voltage Monitors 120 PV Monitors
138.38.106.138 • Substation data • May – June: Emailed zip files (~380 sites) • July 4th – present sftp transfer (~800 sites) • SMOS data • July 16th - present sftp transfer (~3500)
Substation data availability over period 16th April – 17thSeptember Blue lines represent times when a substation supplying data Yellow lines represent dates without data.
SMOS data Voltage data over period Monday 23rd July – Sunday 30th July, 2012 TOTAL_CUSTOMERS: 197 PROFILE_1_CUSTOMER_COUNT : 136 PROFILE_2_CUSTOMER_COUNT : 49 PROFILE_3_CUSTOMER_COUNT: 9 PROFILE_4_CUSTOMER_COUNT: 2 PROFILE_5_CUSTOMER_COUNT: 0 PROFILE_6_CUSTOMER_COUNT: 0 PROFILE_7_CUSTOMER_COUNT: 0 PROFILE_8_CUSTOMER_COUNT: 1
PV data Left: Pattern of generated energy (units on y-axis: kWh) by 10 minutes interval over 24 hours period recorded at PV monitor on 4 selected dates: (a) 23rd July; (b) 28th July; (c) 7th Aug. (d) 14th Aug. Right : Records of sunshine hours (on y-axis, units: number of hours) at St. Athan (Wales) weather monitoring station (http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/) covering period from 6th July to 31st Aug. 2012.
Fixed data • Primary station number • Primary station name • HV feeder index • Substation number • Substation name • Transformer • Transformer type • Rating • LV feeder • Grid reference • Total number of customers • Number of customers in profiles 1-8 • …
Generation Wales data • Substation number • Site name • Feeder number • Generator type • Number of phases • Installed size kW • Number of units • Installed size*Number of units
ARBED • Delivery partner • Town • Local authority • post code • LSOA • Standard property type • Standard construction type • Age band • Wall construction • Wall insulation • Built form • Detachment position • Mains Gas Available • Primary fuel type • Standardised fuel type • Arbed package (values: combination of ‘SWI’, ‘PV’, ‘SHW’, ‘ASHP’, ‘FS’, ‘CESP’, ‘CERT’*, where SWI = Solid Wall Insulation, PV = Photo-Voltaic, SHW - Solar Hot Water, ASHP = Air Source Heat Pump, FS = Fuel Switching, CESP = Community Energy Savings Programme, CERT = Carbon Emission Reduction Target) • Arbed SWI • Delivery partner • Measure Completion Date or Proposed Date
Statistical analysis: Overview • Develop network templates • Use statistical clustering techniques • group sub-stations based on load profiles • Overlay fixed data onto resulting clusters • Create set of classification rules • Using three months of data we have already started to identify clusters which form basis of templates Example of data received over 24 hour period (Wed. 25th July)
Statistical methodology: clustering Based on (dis)similarities in the data Data structured according to - Time (within days, 10 min intervals) - Date (days, months, season) - Sub-stations Real Power Delivered (RPD) Allocates ‘units’ to groups (clusters)
Dendrogram • Black vertical lines indicate how sub-station clusters join together • Highest level split is commercial (left) and residential (right) • Further splits are based on magnitude (RPD) and temporal patterns
Determining number of clusters Decreasing curve of within groups sum of squares (y-axis) against increasing number of possible clusters (x-axis) by using K-means.
Classification Domestic Unrestricted (single rate) Domestic Economy 7 (two rate) Non-Domestic Unrestricted (single rate) Non-Domestic Non-Maximum Demand Economy 7 type (two rate) Non-Domestic Max. Demand Customers with Load Factor 0-20% Non-Domestic Max. Demand Customers with Load Factor 20-30% Non-Domestic Max. Demand Customers with Load Factor 30-40% Non-Domestic Max. Demand Customers with Load Factor >40% • Sub-station clusters contain a mix of customer profile classes
Sub-station profiles over time (within day) • Clusters based on overall levels of RPD (kW) and different temporal patterns
Sub-station profiles over time (weekly) • Clusters exhibit different patterns of RPD (kW)
Future developments • Primary data is being continuously received • Update clustering • Refine classification rules • Create a set of LV templates • Identify stresses on LV networks due to low carbon technologies • Liaise with DNOs to discuss LV Network Templates and application in other areas
