Energy Systems Integration: NREL + HECO

Hawaiian Electric Companies' (HECO) customers are among the nation's fastest-adopters of solar PV systems. For HECO, the increased daytime PV generation raises feeder voltage profiles. Emerging technologies such as advanced PV inverters, battery storage, electric vehicles, and controllable loads also have an impact on voltage profiles. From the utility's perspective, it is yet unclear how to effectively manage these customer-sited resources. NREL is helping HECO understand its options by validating several voltage regulation strategies, making specific use of advanced inverters with voltage support functions, and their integration with other controllable sources.

Energy system monitoring

An optical coupler includes at least one input waveguide and a plurality of output waveguides. The optical coupler spatially disperses optical signals carried on the input waveguide according to wavelength to the output waveguides. The input waveguides and the output waveguides are arranged to provide crosstalk between optical signals carried on the output waveguides.

2020 International Conference on Smart Grids and Energy Systems (SGES)

This paper is concerned about phasor-based linear state estimation of three-phase power grids which contain non transposed lines and unsymmetrical branches. It builds upon our previous work where the linear measurement equations were decoupled into three independent sets via the symmetrical component transformation. Such a transformation may however not fully decouple the measurement equations if there are nontransposed transmission lines and unsymmetrical branches in the system. This paper addresses this limitation by deriving additive terms that compensate for the remaining coupling between sequence measurements after the application of the conventional transformation. It will be shown that general unbalanced threephase power grids can still be transformed into three decoupled subsystems and their state estimation solution can be obtained in parallel by the proposed approach.

Hybrid Energy Systems: Opportunities for Coordinated Research

This chapter presents a baseline assessment of DOE’s current portfolio related to hybrid systems that produce electricity as their only output (Track 1), within the context of the key challenges facing these systems. Of particular importance is that this chapter is focused on understanding what makes a hybrid different from two standalone technologies, both in terms of the research being performed and the challenges that ongoing and planned research will seek to overcome. The purpose of summarizing and describing current research areas is to identify opportunities DOE could consider supporting in the near term. DOE encompasses several offices, each of which has unique objectives and is financially constrained. Additionally, the emergence of low-cost hybrid resources presents an array of new opportunities for the electricity sector, including better managing and allocating risk, improving operating performance, reducing system costs, and enhancing reliability and resilience. Realizing these opportunities will require overcoming barriers to the deployment of hybrids through targeted R&D which multiple DOE offices can invest in and benefit from.
