Abstract
Congestion management can delay grid reinforcements
needed due to the growth of distributed technologies like
photovoltaics and electric vehicles. This paper presents a method
of congestion management for low voltage feeders using indirect
control from the smart grid demonstration EcoGrid EU, where
five minute electricity pricing is sent to demand. A method for
forecasting demand and generating prices in a market framework
is presented, and a novel mechanism to ensure prices are fair
to customers who can and cannot participate is developed. The
proposed market is currently being used to send prices to 1900
houses, with a virtual feeder of 28 houses receiving congestion
pricing. Simulations are used to calculate the cost from using
this congestion management method, while demonstration results
indicate that congestion can be managed successfully.
