TC7.TS02

TC7

Validation that the control signals derived from the decision-making process are feasible to the controllable electrical devices (technical criteria)

The test is to evaluate the performance of the decision-making process in the Bidding module, which outputs are final energy, price bids, and the control signals for the controllable electrical devices.

Prosumer architecture

• Power on the devices and losses on the network
• Device status
• Voltage signal on several nodes
• Price signal

Input parameters

• Weather data
• Historical load data
• Grid frequency
• Grid voltage
• Current per phase
• Internal prices
• Load parameters

Output parameters

• Power setpoints per device
• Price bids

The test considers several consecutive load and generation variations based on the forecasted modules, as wells as price bidding variations. These are needed to adequately evaluate the capability of the operation and bidding modules to cope with these conditions.

• Measurement of input parameters to perform a perfect forecast of RES and demand
• Measurement of electrical parameters
• The imbalance should be under 5%.
• Optimal setpoints to the devices

• Technical constraints (e.g., voltage level, losses, loading, unbalance) are verified as a result of the continuous connection of several controllable electrical devices.
• Correction of the prosumers' bids based on their power consumption and generation forecast, as well as the fitting parameters of their devices' models

N/A

Environmental conditions, consumers’ demand, EVs arrivals, the accuracy of measured signals, communication delay, RES and demand forecasting

Violation of the technical operating levels of the grid, i.e., voltage, losses, and thermal capacity

A significant price deviation due to loss of communication
