Micro-Flexibility: Challenges for Power System Modelling and Control
Prof. Frederico Milano, University College Dublin
IEEE Switzerland Power and Energy Society distinguished lecture 2022
Managing Complexity in the Power Grid of the Future
The lecture illustrates the challenges and opportunities that emerge from the millions of controllable devices – and the micro-flexibility they offer – that are deployed across the transmission and distribution systems. Moving to power systems that are dominated by converter-interfaced resources poses both threats and opportunities. On the one hand, new dynamic phenomena and types of instability arise and there is need for advanced simulation tools. On the other hand, these devices allow for a massive decentralized and direct response to disturbances. The emerging power system paradigm aims to tap the flexibility potential of the millions of controllable devices to ensure the safe operation of power systems. To achieve that, however, system operators, practitioners and academic need to address a range of modelling and control challenges. The lecture aims at identifying and describing these challenges.
