Abstract

This paper presents performance evaluation of hierarchical optimization and control for distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) in large distribution networks via an advanced hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform. The HIL platform provides realistic testing in a laboratory envi-ronment, including the accurate modeling of a full-scale dis-tribution system of 11,000 nodes, the DERMS software con-troller, and 90 power hardware photovoltaics (PVs) and bat-tery inverters. The applied DERMS algorithm is designed based on a real-time optimal power flow algorithm and im-plemented with acceleration design that performs fast dis-patch of simulated PVs and real physical hardware DER devices every 4 seconds.
