Storage and demand management in electricity distribution gridsAndreas Schröder Presentation to the IAEE International Conference Stockholm 21 June 2011
Research question 2 options for generation cost reductions Demand Management Central Storage facilities + Grid Upgrade (vs. congestion) - DC Load flow analysis - Stochastic optimization reflects uncertainty in demand and generation Should a vertically integrated DSO and utility invest in storage and demand management facilities? Hardly beneficial Best option Not necessary
Extensive form Minimize expected generation cost + Investment cost s.t. Energy balance, storage power and capacity limit, DSM limits, DC load flow constraints

Grid Topology Stylized 5-node distribution grid configuration in series connection. Topology chosen so as to simulate a ‘worst-case’ grid (Source: own illustration).
Stochastic wind output • Inverse Weibull CDF • m shape parameter: 2 • k scale parameter: Time-varying • Average wind speed: 5,22 m/s • Cut-in: 2.6 m/s • Cut-out: 17 m/s • Rated: 8 m/s Frequency of wind speeds and sampled profiles. (Source: Own production based on Roy et al.. (2010))

Storage cost data Storage investment cost data compiled from various sources. Mechanical bulk storage included for reference but not considered in our calculations. (Sources: Winter (2008), RWTH Aachen (2010), EcoFys (2009)) Schoenung (2008), and ESA (electricitystorage.org)
Model results Linear program executed in GAMS with CPLEX Solver. Deterministic model 3 sec, Stochastic model ca. 7-10 min. Ca. 6 MB work space allocated, 10 - 20 Iterations. Value of stochastic solution: 0.5 – 2 % of total cost
Model results Storage device beneficial up to 850 EUR/kWh DSM not beneficial beyond 200 EUR Increase in EV strengthens case for DSM and a bit for storage Stochastic model favours more investment (Source: Own production)
Model results Storage and DSM operation and line flows in one scenario. Summed over all nodes, there are 309 kWh storage (up right) and 1440 consumers have DSM appliances installed (up left). (Source: Own production)
Conclusion Grid at 10 kV no shortage Smart meters and related appliances not beneficial at total beyond 200 EUR Storage facilities beneficial when cost is below 850 EUR/MWh capacity Uncoordinated EV charging strengthens the case for DSM and storage in most cases Deterministic model under-estimates value of DSM and storage

demand With demand-side management technology time Low demand and prices at t = 0 use or store more energy (more load online) High demand and prices at t = 1 demand already satisfied (or use stored energy) price price Demand w/o demand-side mgmt. Demand with DSM supply Demand with DSM Demand w/o DSM supply DSM1 DSM0 - W1 W0 > W1 p0 +W0 p1* p1 p0* quantity quantity • If the demand side is provided with real-time prices, there’s an incentive for intertemporal load shifting - the extent to which this is possible depends on the installed technology (e.g. smart metering, storage capacity, etc.) • This can result in a better overall utilization of the more efficient generation technologies welfare improvements (* = the rationale for storage devices is similar)

Welfare maximisation vs. Cost minimisation Discontinuous inverse demand function - in fig. 3a, welfare contributions of DSM would cancel, so it is not used, while in 3b, it improves welfare (source: own production).
