Abstract: A method tests the configuration of an aggregated DERs system using distributed asset managers in a decentralized hardware-in-the-loop (“HIL”) scheme. The managers contain the model of the asset they are meant to control. The method programs an asset manager with a model of a DERs asset. A plurality of asset managers are connected to a central controller. The plurality of asset managers are also connected to a simplified hardware-in-the-loop platform. The simplified HIL platform is configured to solve a network model, a load model, a non-controllable asset model, and a grid model. The method tests the DERs system control structure by using: (a) the simplified HIL platform to solve the network model, the load model, the non-controllable asset model, and the grid model, and (b) the asset manager to solve the model of the DERs asset, without any simulation between the central controller and the distributed asset managers.

Abstract: An asset manager is configured to control distribution of power within an aggregated distributed energy resources system. The asset manager is configured to solve a given asset model that models a real asset. The asset controller is configured to optimize a setpoint of the asset by determining a first trajectory over the course of a first prediction horizon and a second trajectory over the course of a second prediction horizon that is temporally shorter than the first prediction horizon. The trajectories are determined by minimizing a cost function associated with the DER model or a DERs system model. The first prediction horizon has a first temporal length and a first plurality of set points. The second prediction horizon has a second temporal length and a second plurality of set points. The asset controller is configured to constrain the second trajectory based on the first plurality of set points.

Abstract: A method optimizes an aggregated distributed energy resources system. The method receives a power objective for a DERs system that includes a plurality of assets. Each of the assets has an asset manager. A physical parameter related to the power objective is measured at a point of common coupling for the assets. The method selects one or more asset managers as an authority. The authority is configured to calculate a virtual price as a function of the measured physical parameter and the power objective. The virtual price is forwarded to one or more of the asset managers.

Abstract: An asset manager controls power distribution within an aggregated distributed energy resources system (“DERs system”) having a plurality of assets. The asset manager is configured to operate with a given asset. As such, the asset manager has 1) an interface to receive asset information relating to the given asset and to communicate with another asset manager in the DERs system, and 2) a function generator configured to produce a local cost function using data relating to the given asset only. The local cost function represents a portion of a system cost function for the DERs system. The asset manager also has 3) a controller configured to use the local cost function for the given asset to manage operation of the given asset in the DERs system. In addition, the controller also is configured to determine, using the local cost function, an operating point for the given asset.

Abstract: A method determines the topology of a DERs system having a plurality of assets, where at least one of the assets is a controllable asset. The method injects a power signal at a given frequency from a controllable asset into the DERs system. The voltage at each of the plurality of assets is measured, and the magnitude of perturbation of the voltage at the given frequency is determined for each of the plurality of assets. The method then constructs the topology of the DERs system as a function of the differences of the magnitude of perturbations of each of the plurality of assets.

Abstract: A method for operating a microgrid using a distributed energy resource (DER) controller determines an output power value of a DER. The method also receives a remote power correction value from a second DER controller. The method further determines a local output power reference value as a function of the output power value and the remote power correction value. The method further determines a frequency set point as a function of the local output power reference value and a droop coefficient. The method further adjusts an output frequency of the DER as a function of the frequency set point.
