Cyber-Physical Events Emulation Based Transmission and Distribution Co-Simulation for Situation Awareness and Grid Anomaly (SAGA) Detection: Preprint

Energy management of transmission and distribution networks is becoming more challenged with the accelerated increasing of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation and distributed energy storage. To better analyze the impacts of DERs on both transmission and distribution systems, a comprehensive transmission and distribution co-simulation platform should be developed. Furthermore, with DERs more actively participated in system operation such as providing real time grid services, their cyber vulnerability should be better understood to maintain system reliability. This paper discussed a cyber-physical events emulation based transmission & distribution co-simulation platform to perform different cyber events emulation and analyze the impacts of cyber physical events happened in distribution system on the T&D system operation. The case studies with both a transmission network and a synthetic distribution network data validate that the proposed T&D co-simulation platform can perform comprehensive cyber physical events emulation. Therefore, with extensive simulation using the proposed model, the system operator can accumulate adequate training data for the system situation awareness and grid anomaly detection purpose.

Wall-modeled LES of the NASA Juncture Flow Experiment

We perform wall-modeled large eddy simulation (WMLES) of the NASA Juncture Flow experiment (Kegerise & Neuhart, NASA/TM–2019–20286) using an equilibrium wall model and unstructured finite volume solver, to assess its predictive ability for complex geometries. The flow condition simulated corresponds to 5 degrees angle of attack with a freestream Mach number of 0.189, and a Reynolds number based on the mean crank chord of 2.4 million. All simulations neglect the effects of wind tunnel walls, sting and mast present in the experiment. To assess the performance of WMLES on simpler flows with very coarse grids, we simulate flow in a turbulent channel at a friction Reynolds number, Reτ≈2000, and flow through a square duct at anReτ≈1000. The duct flow results using the equilibrium wall model indicate that the skin friction is inaccurate near the corner for grid topologies and resolutions typically used in WMLES, having implications for more complicated flows such as the juncture flow. For the juncture flow simulation, two different approaches are investigated. The first approach consists of a truncated-domain simulation wherein the inflow plane of the computational domain is placed at≈0.2chord length of the wing, and we prescribe the mean flow from a separate Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solution along with synthetic turbulence to initiate realistic unsteadiness in the domain. The second approach involves simulating the entire geometry with trips to trigger transition to turbulence. The truncated- and full-domain simulations contain about 62 and 90 million cells, respectively; with 8-10 points per boundary layer thickness in the wall-parallel directions, 14-20 points in the wall-normal direction and a near-wall viscous spacing (∆n+1) of≈100. Preliminary results are encouraging overall in terms of the prediction of wall pressure, wall skin friction, velocity and stresses; but indicate that further work is required to improve the predictions in the separation bubble and wing-fuselage corner regions. The grid resolution used in this study is still fairly coarse, and the results should be interpreted as work in progress.

EMT Simulation of Large PV Plant & Power Grid for Disturbance Analysis

One of the challenges faced during the analysis of various disturbances with inverter-based resources is the ability to replicate the same disturbance in simulations. The main issue arises from lack of electromagnetic transient (EMT) models and adequate fidelity of models. To overcome this problem, in this paper, EMT simulation of power grid and one of the affected photovoltaic (PV) plants is performed to replicate the observations during the Angeles Forest disturbance in 2018. The processes to (i) develop the EMT model of the power grid from traditional transient stability (TS) data, and (ii) develop high-fidelity EMT model of PV plant from data collected on a PV plant are described in the paper. The requirements in the high-fidelity EMT model of the PV plant are also described. Finally, simulation of the Angeles Forest disturbance is performed and similar simulation results (as compared to the observed disturbances) are observed.

This report summarizes the Year 2 work of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL’s) 5G Fabricated Resource and Asset Management Encompassment for energy infrastructure (Energy FRAME) project funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) Program. In this report, newest 5G equipment testing results are presented, along with two 5G-enabled AI/ML examples for grid applications; in addition, the work flow of grid edge, cloud, and High Performance Computing (HPC) platform is introduced, to support and interface the cross-domain simulation for power system transmission, distribution, and communication networks. Last but not least, the outlook for Year 3 work and the overarching impact of 5G Energy FRAME work to a multitude of stakeholders are provided.

Raw WRF model output files from a LASSO-CACTI simulation

The raw model output from a Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulation from the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) deep-convection scenario for the Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign. The LASSO-CACTI simulations span grid spacings from 7.5 km to 100 m through the use of four nested domains, labeled d1 through d4. The simulations are of convection near the Sierras de Córdoba mountain range, roughly centered on the ARM Mobile Facility. More information can be found at https://www.arm.gov/capabilities/modeling/lasso. The raw model output is in netCDF format as output by the WRF model, i.e., the “wrfout” files, with the files renamed for archival purposes.
