Following recent advances in network infrastructure, cloud computing, and embedded systems, fascinating work is underway exploring the utility of demand response in increasing grid stability while permitting high penetration of intermittent renewable distributed generation resources. Although works have demonstrated diverse theoretical advantages of demand response programs, little real-world data are available and utilities generally remain reticent in moving forward with large-scale implementation due to risks inherent to any modification of the power system. Deciding that the next pertinent step in bringing demand response from theory to technology is developing an Internet-of-things hardware-in-the-loop simulation power system integrated device capable of empirically testing the theoretical mechanisms, this work presents an architecture testbed for providing demand response (telemetric monitoring and actuation of loads), which is real node in a power system simulation where virtual node's parameters derive real node data. We test a demand response algorithm, which provides frequency regulation services.

用于提供具有需求响应的频率调节的物联网硬件在环仿真架构


随着网络基础设施、云计算和嵌入式系统的最新进展，人们正在进行一些有趣的工作，探索需求响应在提高电网稳定性方面的效用，同时允许间歇性可再生分布式发电资源的高渗透率。尽管工作已经证明了需求响应计划的多种理论优势，但可用的实际数据很少，并且由于电力系统任何修改所固有的风险，公用事业公司通常在大规模实施方面保持沉默。确定将需求响应从理论转化为技术的下一个相关步骤是开发一种能够对理论机制进行实证测试的物联网硬件在环仿真电力系统集成装置，这项工作提出了一个架构测试平台，用于提供需求响应（遥测监控和负载驱动），它是电力系统仿真中的真实节点，其中虚拟节点的参数导出真实节点数据。我们测试了一种需求响应算法，该算法提供频率调节服务。
