Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM)
The FREEDM distribution system may be viewed as a smart microgrid with the goals of power and energy management and reliability enhancement.
Ziang Zhang and Mo-Yuen Chow Electrical & Computer Engineering North Carolina State University
The Distributed Grid Intelligence (DGI) is a major computational aspect of the FREEDM microgrid with a portion of DGI running on a computer embedded in each IEM node.
The DGI is a collection of distributed algorithms that manage power and computational resources within the microgrid in a distributed fashion. DGI contains a broker that integrates plug-in software modules that embodies the functions of configuration management, power management, and fault detection and reconfiguration.
Broker
The broker runs as a process that manages individual POSIX threads that instantiating each software module. Listens for incoming connections and provides mechanism to: Maintain TCP connections among IEMs Dispatch incoming messages to appropriate software modules and send messages based on connections
POSIX BROKER Creates Unique IDs (UUID) for each node
Group Management
Manages group membership of IEM nodes by determining the neighbors Handles network partitions or failure of node(s) (through Reorganization) Elects a leader of the group which has special group information to be used by other modules or a new node that joins the group
Power Balancing
Balances the power on the microgrid in a way to meet the net demand/supply through negotiation among peer IEM nodes to control individual SSTs to add or subtract power to / from a shared power interconnection bus A distributed version of Locational Marginal Pricing (D-LMP) is integrated with this module to optimize energy storage, renewable energy controls, line loading management in the distribution network, and power usage
Sets up all software modules CBROKER Register each software module with broker -This registers XML portion of ptree (message structure) for this module -Registers callbacks to handle these sections of a ptree
Listen on network port for incoming connections CMESSAGE CCONNECTION Message is parsed into ptree Does XML conversion /parsing on the incoming/ outgoing messages
State Collection
The Chandy-Lamport state collection algorithm is used to collect a logically-consistent state (one in which causality between actions is preserved) of the distributed system It employs correctness predicates to determine correct/faulty behavior (such as for fault diagnosis).
Distributed This
microgrids require more management than classical distribution systems. work describes distributed microgrid. an architecture for a
Fault Management
DGI detects internal software and hardware faults and reports to the Integrated Fault Management (IFM) module. If a fault is detected, the consensus system and group manager are contacted to initiate reconfiguration around the failed component.
To
implement the system requires work in distributed algorithms, power systems, and power system economics.
