Hello Grid Analytics Community Members,

I hope all is well! We are just under one week away from our December (2022) Grid Analytics Community Conversation and want to get you excited about the session taking place. On Wednesday, December 14 at 1:00 PM CT, we’ll be joined by Ali Alvi, Principal Project Manager – Grid Modernization | Smart Grid & Technology at ComEd and Marianna Vaiman, CEO at V&R Energy who will be leading a discussion around, “Developing and Deploying a Distribution Linear State Estimator: One Utility’s Journey.” As this discussion will be interactive, we encourage you to come prepared with questions and your insight.

Learn more about this session below!

Session Description:

Using Machine Learning algorithm based on time series analysis of Synchrophasor (Phasor Measurement Units) data on ComEd’s distribution network. ComEd is currently the leading the electric utility industry in development of a Distribution Linear State Estimation (DLSE) platform, which is based on high resolution time synchronized data from PMUs to model and estimate linear state of power system, which ultimately provides enhanced visibility and real time situational awareness into the distribution network.

The reliable and resilient operation of a DER-rich distribution grid requires real-time monitoring and control. Distribution Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) can provide time-stamped voltage and current phasor data at a high sampling rate, yielding real-time snapshots of electric distribution grids and microgrids. To leverage the synchrophasor data from distribution PMUs deployed within the Bronzeville Community Microgrid (BCM), ComEd implemented and tested a three-phase distribution linear state estimator (DLSE). The DLSE performs state estimation as fast as the PMU reporting rate, up to 60 times per second as compared to traditional state estimation (SE) which solves once every few minutes. This application can provide increased observability that supports real-time situational awareness and monitoring, aiding real-time control and optimization of the distribution system. With lab validation now complete, the technology is deployed in the BCM, a 7-MW community microgrid, to monitor two feeders.

Hello Grid Analytics Community Members,

I hope all is well! With December just kicking off, I wanted to reach out and get you excited for our December (2022) Grid Analytics Community Conversation. On Wednesday, December 14 at 1:00 PM CT, we’ll be joined by Ali Alvi, Principal Project Manager – Grid Modernization | Smart Grid & Technology at ComEd and Marianna Vaiman, CEO at V&R Energy who will be leading a discussion around, “Developing and Deploying a Distribution Linear State Estimator: One Utility’s Journey.” I’ll be providing more information on this session, including our Microsoft Teams credentials, one week prior to our meeting but you can always learn more about each of our upcoming Community Conversations on our Events Page HERE.

If you have any questions in the meantime please reach out to me at kpraet@utilityanalytics.com.

 

Thanks
