This presentation provides an overview of peak load management for distributed energy resources.
Distributed energy resource (DER) management and control is disjointed, siloed, and at times conflicting. Behind-the-meter (BTM) assets can provide significant flexibility but are poorly integrated with the grid. Centralized control methods alone are not scalable. The objective is to develop and demonstrate an architecture that: provides reliable, resilient, and secure grid services; enables scalable, near-real-time management of utility- and small-scale DERs; supports transactive control, aggregation, and direct control of DERs; and incorporates existing utility management systems.

A conceptual numerical methodology derived from Grid Architecture principles is introduced for deconflicting setpoints issued by multiple advanced distribution management system applications. The methodology applies technical, economic, environmental, and social rules to eliminate non-viable combinations. The concept of temporal equipment controls budgets is introduced to preserve the health of physical assets and avoid equipment damage through repeated controls cycling. The rules are combined with a multi-criteria decision-making framework to select a near-optimal set of deconflicted setpoints using a set of qualitative and quantitative decision criteria selected by the distribution system operator. Numerical results are demonstrated on the IEEE 123-bus test feeder for three competing applications. Three alternative distributed schemes are used to decompose the problem: by topological area, by phase, and fully decentralized. The fully decentralized implementation is shown to yield near-optimal deconfliction results with significantly reduced computational time.

This work introduces a rules-based deconfliction methodology for resolving conflicting device control commands issued by advanced power applications considering a range of technical, economic, environmental, and social objectives. The methodology is designed to serve as one of multiple alternative implementations (along with application cooperation and global optimization) for the numerical component of the Deconfliction Pipeline. Development of the methodology is divided into two parts. The first document previously defined the requirements, context, and methods for decomposing the deconfliction problem using the Laminar Coordination Framework and Variable Grid Structures. The deconfliction problem was decomposed into a distributed optimization problem based on the concept of quasi-static grid segments, which form independent distributed areas for control and coordination. It was recommended that selection of the optimal number of decompositions of the deconfliction problem be made based on a tradeoff analysis between computational speed and global optimality. This second document defines an initial set of technical, economic, and environmental criteria, as well as thirty specific qualitative rules that are used as part of the deconfliction methodology to eliminate non-viable setpoint alternatives. The deconfliction optimization problem is converted into a ranking of individual discrete setpoints, which are scored by the extent to which they satisfy specific decision criteria. The ranking is determined through the concepts of deconfliction exclusivity, priority, and preference. Several multi-criteria decision-making frameworks are examined with the simple multi-attribute rating technique exploiting ranks (SMARTER) recommended as a simple implementation alternative that aligns with the steps of the rules-based deconfliction methodology.

This project will evaluate the impact of augmenting a utility situational awareness with additional supervisory sensors downstream of the substation to enhance the resiliency and reliability of the power delivery and management by improving the identification of a fault location.
A system for testing an optical surface includes a rangefinder configured to emit a light beam and a null assembly located between the rangefinder and the optical surface. The null assembly is configured to receive and to reflect the emitted light beam toward the optical surface. The light beam reflected from the null assembly is further reflected back from the optical surface toward the null assembly as a return light beam. The rangefinder is configured to measure a distance to the optical surface using the return light beam.
