Clean Energy Fund II

High resolution input data is required to obtain a detailed prediction of the building performance. High resolution information about hourly weather information, building geometric and HVAC description (such as multi-zone airflow and extensive HVAC specification capabilities) are required to assist calibration. » More ...

Grid of the Future White Paper

This white paper will have a focus on operations, with much of it looking at issues in control center design for the wide variety of different entities that are involved in transmission system operation. These include reliability coordinators (RCs), balancing authorities (BAs) and transmission operators (TOPs). Issues considered will include the integration of large numbers of measurements from sensors (such as PMUs), operation with a much larger number of controls and renewable generation sources, and the need to maintain situation awareness during a wide variety of different operating conditions including during severe system disturbances. » More ...

HELICS+

WSU will build on the existing interfaces between transmission, distribution and communications. The steady state interface requires the interchange of data between the transmission and distribution power flow solutions in an iterative way to align the boundary bus voltages while taking into account the positive sequence model of the transmission interfacing with a three-phase model of the distribution. For the dynamic cosimulation, adding the interface with the communications system to that of transmission and distribution becomes important because many of the controls require the time behavior of communications to be taken into account. Moreover, the communications systems are not necessarily similar as the transmission and distribution SCADA systems are designed quite differently, and so does the data transfer of PMUs and AMI. » More ...
