Role of Cyber-Physical Testbeds in Future-Proofing grids | November 14th, 2024

Presentation Abstract: With grid structures evolving, there is an increased complexity observed today in the form of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) with varied standards, responses and control strategies. Similarly, a rapid change in grid architectures is being seen with multiple third-party energy entities (system operators, aggregators, transactive aggregators, etc.) becoming commonplace [1,2]. This significantly complicates control and operation and makes it challenging to analyze the resiliency and security of these systems under a variety of conditions. The system may go into modes where traditional protection and control techniques may not be adequate. Moreover, conflicting objectives between third party energy entities may further deteriorate system stability. To accurately quantify system resiliency and develop adequate control and operation schemes, it becomes necessary to analyze the behavior of these systems holistically while capturing dynamics and allowing controls, third-party energy entities, protection and communication to exist in a common environment. By creating a cyber-physical testbed that encapsulates a large variety of DERs, controllers and all associated entities and their interactions at scale, the resiliency of future grids can adequately be captured, and resilience improvement and coordination schemes can be developed. This talk will detail numerous efforts at PNNL to capture cyber physical phenomenon, assess system vulnerability through the development of cyber-physical models. Bio: ROHIT A.
