Module 9

Distributed Energy Sources and Power Quality,

Energy storage systems

1 INTRODUCTIONThe aim of this module is to provide the user a detailed overview of the distributed energy sourcesin the context of power quality. Great majority of such energy sources are integrated with the gridon different voltage levels. They may produce a lot of power quality related problems then. Theconsequences, standards and methods which mitigate power quality problems are the essentialpart of this module. High penetration levels of DER especially Renewable Energy Sources mayrequire energy storage systems. Such configurations require also power quality considerations and

are also the content of this module.

1.1 General aimsThis modules general aim is to provide the attendants the basic knowledge about DER definitions,types and power quality phenomena which need to be solved. Methods to keep the power qualityparameters and reliability under control when interconnecting DER with the electrical system aredescribed. Energy storage techniques to balance the intermittence of RES and available solutionsare also described.The aim is achieved through 7 didactic sections, as follows: Section 1: Definition of DER, RES and embedded generation (wind energy, photovoltaic and

fuel cells applications, etc.), available technologies and applications like base and emergency

supply, peak shaving, green power etc.; Section 2: Standards on Integration of DER with electric power system, national and

international (IEEE 1547, IEC 61400, Technical Guidelines);

Section 3: DER & Power Quality - Regulations and Rules between Customers and NetworkOperators; Economic Aspects;

Section 4: Power Quality Causes and Problems: power electronics converters,voltage control, harmonics and interharmonics;

- Section 5: Power Quality Measurement and Solutions: methods, active and passive filters asan example solution;

Section 6: Integration with the grid: methods, modules, impact on power quality and reliability;voltage control, system restoration, fault level, technology requirements, grid solutions;practical examples and experience;

Section 7: Energy storage systems - balancing the load, power flows control;

1.2 Target groupsThis modules target group includes: DER investors and users, designers, experts, grid operatorsand utility staff, and all those who wish to expand their knowledge in DER and especially DERsystem integration PQ related issues.

2 SPECIFIC AIMS AND TOPICSThe pathway of learning consists of a 2 days course, subdivided in sections (with differentduration), with these contents and related aims.

1st dayContents Introduction to DER, standards and regulations by grid connection and use of

DER, rules between customer and network operatorAims The aim of the first day lessons is to introduce the basic knowledge related to

DER and the key concept of standards and regulations,2nd day

Contents DER & Power Quality measurement, problems and solutions,energy storage systems.

Aims The second day lessons aim is to provide the attendants some practicalinformation and tools recognizing and identifying Power Quality problems byusing of DER and the choice of protecting measures. The last section of thecourse will be dedicated to the possible solutions and explain something moreabout energy storage systems

Below theres a detailed overview of the course contents.

3 COURSE DETAILED PROGRAMGeneral notes: each day there will be one Lunch break (90 mins) and on the second day also a coffee break

which will divide the lesson into parts no longer than 2 hours;

at the beginning of the course the lecturer will explain the course aims;

the course will be divided into theoretical and practical sections; at the end of the lessons, a user satisfaction survey will help the lecturer in monitoring the course

quality.

4 TEACHING METHODSTeaching methods are summarized in three main moments: knowledge transfer (Lesson)

topics exposure by the lecturer with the help of slides and eventually other electronic tools(animations, data sheets, didactic movies);

deepening/learning verification (Discussion)general discussion stimulated by the lecturer (also during the lesson) to verify knowledgetransfer and to eventually deepen particular topics;

practical training (and eventually laboratory activities)group work (~ 6 persons/group) for topics deepening, practical problems solution and casestudies overview under the supervision of the lecturer.

During all the sections, the lecturer will always attend, with teaching and/or activity coordinationduty.

5 DIDACTIC MATERIAL AND TOOLSThe didactic tools which will be used by the lecturers will be:

Blackboard Video-projector Notebook Microphone

The lecture room will be suitable to allow the use of all the above listed didactic tools and to enablegroup work for the addendants.

Each user will receive, during the registration, a folder containing: course program;

lecture notes containing all or part of the lecture slides.

Some additional electronic tools will be available also in electronic format at: http://www.leonardo-energy.org/drupal/.

The folder will also include a user satisfaction questionnaire and a knowledge test (which will beboth filled and submitted at the end of the course).
