Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, arrangement and computer program product for determining resiliency in a microgrid (10) comprising a number of assets (14, 16, 18, 20), where each asset is a different type of electric energy subsystem in the microgrid. The arrangement comprises at least one control unit (30, 32, 34, 36, 38) configured to obtain status data about devices (32, 34, 36, 38) used to control the assets as well as about communication resources of this control, determine, based on the status data, the health and availability of each asset to assist each of a plurality of functions for handling disruptive events in the microgrid and determine a resiliency (RI) of the microgrid in performing the plurality of functions, the resiliency being determined based on the individual asset health and availability of each asset (14, 16, 18, 20) concerning all the functions for handling disruptive events.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a switchyard for interconnecting direct current power networks and a direct current power transmission system comprising such a switchyard. The switchyard comprises a number of interconnected entities comprising at least two main circuit breakers and a number of transfer switches, where each network has two connections to the switchyard, at least one via a transfer switch, each main circuit breaker has four connections in the switchyard, two at each end of the main circuit breaker and at least one via a transfer switch, and each network is joined with every other network via a corresponding path through at least one main circuit breaker as well as via a corresponding path bypassing all main circuit breakers.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling an electrical power network (1) comprising a distribution grid (3) of a grid operator (2) and a plurality of charging stations (5) for electrical vehicles (EV) (7). The method comprises maintaining a distributed ledger which is shared over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network (10) in which the grid operator, each of the plurality of charging stations and each of the EVs using said charging stations comprises a node in said P2P network. The method also comprises, by means of a consensus algorithm, updating the distributed ledger with tokens of digital information relevant to the electrical power network. The method also comprises controlling the electrical power network based on the digital information of the tokens in the updated distributed ledger.
Abstract:
A method of optimising parking space allocation in a parking lot provided with a plurality of parking spaces and a plurality of electric vehicle chargers associated with a respective parking space, the electric vehicle chargers being connected to an electric grid, wherein the method comprises: obtaining (Si) a parking start time request and a parking end time request of an electric vehicle to be parked in the parking lot, the time between the parking start time request and the parking end time request being a parking time of the electric vehicle, forecasting (S2) the use and availability of the parking spaces during the parking time, forecasting (S 3 ) the use of power and energy in the electric grid during the parking time, and allocating a parking space of the plurality of parking spaces to the electric vehicle by performing an optimisation (S 4 ) based on the parking start time request, the parking end time request, the forecasted use and availability of the parking spaces, and on the forecasted use of power and energy in the electric grid.
