Abstract:
Transitioning to a more automated grid requires changes and enhancements to grid operations, to the network structure and to end-user interaction. Concurrently, a desire to integrate renewable power sources into the grid imposes significant strains on existing electricity infrastructures and can lead to critical volatility in the grid frequency as a result of these unreliable supply sources. Of all the elements of frequency control available to a Transmission Systems Operator (TSO), by far the most valuable is the availability of an autonomous 5-15 second response window. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of using future internet technologies to balance the load on the grid in cases where unplanned events e.g., a drop in Renewable Energy Supply (RES), has caused fluctuations in grid frequency. This is done by, but not limited to, remotely controlling the load drawn by the domestic Electric Vehicle (EV) charge points.
