Overview of presentation• A brief look at Integrating Variable Renewable Resources (VRR)• The main challenges posed by VRR integration and applicable SMART
GRID Systems that contribute to overcoming these challenges• Integration and Activation of various SMART GRID solutions• Alignment of SMART GRID development with Renewable Energy
Development• Conclusion• Recommendation
About JPS• Est. 1923• Ownership: EWP (Korea) 40% Marubeni (Japan)
40%, GOJ ~ 20%• Vertically Integrated Utility - Sole Transmission
and Distribution, Liberalized Generation (incl. IPPs)
• Installed Capacity: ~ 1,024 MW (JPS + IPP), Fossil, Hydro, Wind, Solar
• Peak Demand: ~ 655 MW, May 16, 2016• Approximately 16,000 km of T&D, 138kV and
69kV, 55 Substations, 28 Generating Plants • Customer base: ~ 606,650• Staff: ~ 1700
Context• Globally, significant investments are being done in
renewable energy technologies driven by efforts to decarbonize the planet
• The variable nature of these generation poses integration challenges, renewable energy by itself, will not keep the lights on!
• Grid modernization has to take place in concert with the rapid deployment of these variable renewable resources (VRR)
• Balancing resources – integrating large-scale and small distributed energy resources (DER)
• Smarter Grids enable higher penetrations of VRR on T&D networks
Jamaican Context – Energy Policy 2009-2030• Reduce the over-dependence on imported oil for
electricity production• Requires a diversified energy base with focus on “green”
and “clean” technologies• Requires reduction of our carbon footprint and
protection of the environment• Promotion of energy efficiency and energy conservation
and grid modernization to accommodate these goals• Requires that by 2030, renewables (solar, hydro, wind,
biofuel) will be 20% of the energy mix.• No objection for renewable plants < 15 MW (base operating
cost and negotiable premium cap)• Competitive basis for renewable plants >= 15 MW through
the OUR process
Jamaican Context – Energy Policy 2009-2030
Are we REady?• Installed Hydro Capacity - 29.12 MW• Installed Wind Capacity - 101.3 MW• Installed Solar Capacity - 20 MW• Roof Top Solar (DG) - 4MW (30MW)
• Future Roof Top Solar - 13.5MW• Future Solar 2018 - 33.1 MW• Future Biomass 2018 - 5 MW • Converted 120 MW CCGT to LNG• 190 MW CCGT 2019 on LNG
The Jamaican Context – Renewable Energy Capacity Penetration• Total MCR = 1,024 MW• Existing RE capacity = 14.6%
• VRR (Wind + Solar) = 11.8%
• Projected RE Capacity = 17.7%• VRR (Wind + Solar ) = 14.5%
Research indicates that in most large scale grid systems, VRR < 10% of peak capacity has little impact on system operation. Larger Shares will present challenges for System Operators.

The SMART GRID“A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies” – European Technology Platform Smart Grid (ETPSG)
NIST Conceptual Reference Model
Smart Grid and VRR’s• What share of VRR is possible with more effective use of existing flexible resources?
No one size fits all, careful studies and simulations are necessary. • Integrated Resource Planning using, for example, the Flexibility Assessment (FAST)
method developed by the IEA’s Grid Integration of Variable Renewables (GIVAR) project.
• IEA identifies four technical flexibility resources that can aid in the integration challenge:
• Dispatchable plants: Load-Following Generators with ramp-up/ramp-down and short start-up/shut-down times
• Storage: batteries, pumped hydro, compressed air, flywheels• Interconnection: to neighbouring utilities/systems• Demand-Side measures: Customer participation in power system operation – load shifting, load
shedding etc., SMART-GRID Technologies are integral components
Flexibility needs and Flexible resources – IEA Framework
• Smart Grid Systems and Technologies play a role in:
• Demand Side Management & Response• Energy Storage Facilities• Power Market• System Operations• Grid hardware
• Other Smart Grid Technologies• PHEV’s charging• Modernizing grid Operations through
Advanced SCADA/EMS + Substation & Distribution Automation
• Inclusive power markets, storage and demand side resources for balancing
• Establishment of micro-grids during outages on the main grid
Flexibility is the Answer!• Flexibility expresses the extent
to which a power system can modify electricity production or consumption in response to variability, expected or otherwise
• Curtailing the VRR output when necessary to prevent surplus
• Achieving Near-Instantaneaous Ramp Rates
NIST Conceptual Reference Model
Key VRR Integration Challenges and Smart Grid Solutions• Integration Challenges
• Transmission• General Ramping Requirements• Near Instantaneous Production Ramps• Over-Generation
• Proposed Response to VRR Integration Challenges:• Smart Grid Tools• Market Tools• System Operations Tools• Other
Transmission• Siting of VRR are often times located at a
significant distances from load centres. Cost of new transmission or limits on existing lines may pose challenges to additional VRR generation.
• Smart grid technologies, especially advanced transmission and substation technologies, can aid in this challenge by increasing transmission line capacity, reducing system losses, and improving voltage and frequency control
NIST Conceptual Reference Model
Transmission SolutionsSMART GRID TOOLS• Dynamic Line Rating – real time
monitoring of line sags• Wide Area Situational Awareness +
Phasor Measurement tools – SMART Remedial Action Schemes
• Flexible AC Transmission Systems – FACTS Devices > SVC, FSC, Sync Condensers
• SMART Circuit Breakers – Fibre Optics Tripping independent of relays
SYSTEM OPERATION TOOLS• Advanced Simulation Systems – Chess
Player Algorithms, Improved Load Forecasting assist with Optimizing System
• Better Balancing Area Coordination, Upgrade Line and Transformer Capacity, Retrofit Relays
• Transition from day-ahead UC and hourly dispatch down to 5 minute intervals
General Ramping Requirements• System operators “ramp” the output of generators in response to the
demand for electricity, a vital grid function known as “load-following.” • Conventional ramping is normally due to fluctuations in electricity
demand, high penetration of VRR adds a new variability to this convention and the unique patterns present different ramping challenges.
• High Penetration Solar requires daily (morning and evening) ramping as well as cloud cover changes.
• Wind Power generally increases during the day and dies down in the evening, but has less predictable up-and-down-ramping requirements
General Ramping SolutionsSMART GRID TOOLS• Energy Storage – batteries,
flywheels, chillers, heat• Demand Response• Virtual Power Plants – grouping of
energy resources under central control
SYSTEM OPERATION TOOLS• Better Wind and Solar Forecasting for
Resource Scheduling• Better Balancing Area Coordination• Advanced EMS integrating near real-time
(5 min) load forecast updates• Improved AGC monitoring, RTU scan rate
>> VRR rate• Dynamic Spinning Reserve allocation and
assignment to the best responding generator sets (including IPPs)
• Retrofit/recalibrate generator governors for faster response
Near-Instantaneous Production Ramps• High-Penetrations of Solar present integration challenges, the passage
of clouds over PV panels can result in output changes of +/- 50% in 60 seconds and +/- 70% in 10 minutes.
• Rooftop or utility-scale PV connected directly to the distribution system can introduce voltage challenges. Quick variations from inverter-based generation can impact the voltage to customers if adequate voltage regulation is absent.
• Siting of a single large solar installation at the end of a distribution feeder can strain the entire voltage regulation scheme.
• Generally, the Response-Time for Voltage Regulation is critical.
Near Instantaneous Production Ramps SolutionsSMART GRID TOOLS• Volt Var Optimization and require PVs to
contribute to Voltage Regulation• Fault Location Isolation & Service Restoration• Transfer Trip Schemes – to allow proper
discon and recon of RE when outage is detected
• Automated reclosers to facilitate Islanding of DGs and/or BSs when outages are detected
• Active power electronics in SMART Meters to control ramps
• Coupling of PV inverters and PQM to minimize feeder voltage fluctuations
SYSTEM OPERATION TOOLS• ADMS to integrate grid monitoring
applications to improve visualization and situational awareness of the distribution network state and facilitate FLISR, FR, DR, VVO/VVC
• Distribution Operator Training Simulator – DOTS
• STLM for better voltage control
Over-Generation• Over-generation typically occurs when VRR generation is high, loads
are relatively low, and there is a significant share of non-dispatchable
and baseload conventional generation on the grid• The challenge is more common with wind generation in low-load
situations
Over Generation SolutionsSMART GRID TOOLS• High Quality RE Forecasting• Demand Response – eg. PHEV
Charging, ICE for HVAC, Cooling of Industrial Refrigerators
• Home Automation – Residential Pre-cooling, Electric Thermal Heating of Water, SMART Pumps, SMART Thermostats
• Large Industrial Loads to absorb the excess energy
SYSTEM OPERATION TOOLS• Expanded balancing area –
sell/export the excess power• RE Curtailment – Reduce RE Output• Advanced EMS with Load
Forecasting/Load Dispatch with AGC• Require all generators to operate at
minimum load and/or leading power factor
• Flexible base load generators capable of cycling
Integrating Solutions• The design of smart grid systems to enable greater VRR generation should be
driven by analysis of the types, timing, and magnitude of grid challenges posed by the portfolio of VRR sources on each individual grid, as well as the relative cost of the potential solutions – IEA FAST method
• The key challenge for decision-makers (i.e. system or market operators) is to prioritize and implement the appropriate mix of integration solutions detailed above given the specific grid topology, current and future VRR mix, and market structure
• The economics of flexible resources are unique to each electricity market and regulatory landscape, and conducting resource assessments and simulations will be critical to estimating the most cost-effective path to integrating large penetration of VRRs
Flexibility “Merit Order”
Activating demand-side intelligence• Smart grids can enable greater customer
participation in power system operations. • By sending real-time information on cost of
electricity, or offering information about real-time incentive payments, engaged customers and grid-networked housing and commercial buildings can participate in reducing stress on the network caused by system events, such as increasing peak demand or VRR integration events
• Enabling demand to actively respond to load and price conditions can have a dramatic impact on the integration of VRRs.

Activating delivery-side intelligence• Dynamic Line Rating: lines are given a static thermal
capacity rating that limits how much current can be delivered across the line formulated from ambient temp and current flow.
• Sag in transmission lines affect the amount of current flow as well as ambient weather.
• A cloud shadowing can increase line capacity by 3% and wind speed and direction can impact capacity by up to 10%
• “Dynamic line rating” systems consist of tension and/or temperature sensors deployed on high-voltage transmission lines to provide grid operators real time insights into thermal capacity. Such intelligence can allow for greater amounts of electricity to be delivered, which at times can reduce the level of curtailment of VRRs
Enabling Distributed Generation & Microgrids• Planned islanding can now be introduced and
integrated with system protection• Microgrids are defined as electrical systems that
include multiple loads and distributed energy resources that may be operated either interconnected with the grid or as an electrical island
• Applicable to rural areas or large residential subdivisions, corporate campuses, hotel zones
• Microgrid Controller takes over the job of the system controller to maintain power quality (voltage, frequency etc.,), balance of generation and load
Integrated System Control Room• Full operational view of Transmission and
Distribution systems• Integrated EMS and DMS• DMS function now critical as DER’s are deployed,
active control of the distribution is essential with storage, generation and load. Advanced Applications and Simulation will be necessary to improve visibility and control over the resources.
• At the transmission level, EMS are managing both conventional and VRR, active demand response, storage devices and safety. The EMS will have to control the DMS and DER’s directly in daily operations
Transmission Control Room Improvements• High resolution visualization of grid
status and health• Automated Demand Management• Algorithms that identify
intermittency events and look-ahead• Integrated forecasting software that
allows for more accurate dispatch• Ability to manage the connection or
disconnection of micro-grids• Work force demographics and skills
Conclusion• What is the regionally-appropriate sequence
and priority of smart grid applications needed to facilitate the development of high-penetration VRR power systems?
• What types of policy frameworks best engage customers in participatory energy markets?
• What is the regionally-appropriate model for renewable energy development (e.g. what share of VRR resources should be distributed?)
• What smart-grid VRR integration solutions are most strongly affected by institutional barriers? Market barriers? What policy changes would mitigate these barriers?
Recommendation• Ensure alignment between smart grid roadmaps and scenarios for future
renewable energy supply • Evaluate smart grid VRR integration solutions in the context of the full
range of integration solutions • Integrated Resource Planning to:
• Establish the existing flexibility of the grid to integrate new resources• Determine the optimal size and sites for renewable energy projects (resources)• Ensure grid sustainability through generation units with appropriate ramp and
frequency stability capabilities• Facilitate better collaboration with customers in Distributive Generation, who are
producing electricity and selling back to the grid
