• Smooth intermittency
• Minimize reverse power flow, keeps voltage within limits
• Store output and release coincidental with local load
• Control ramp rate

Half Moon Ventures owns‐operates solar and storage for the Minster, Ohio community
ONCOR Microgrid Example
• Founded on the Brattle report recommending 5000 MW of storage in ERCOT
• Utilizes distributed generation – two solar photovoltaic arrays– a microturbine– two energy storage units – four generators
• Energy storage is the backbone
A showcase to promote utilities to rate base energy storage batteries for distribution system support and wholesale market services
Many Opportunities Remain
• Regulatory, ownership, price issues
• Re‐defining the roles and processes: planning, design, operations
• Standards for interoperability
• Develop workforce competencies
• Capability for dynamic operations
• Utilize lots of data, varying time domains
• Overcome security obscurities

Distribution Automation Protection: Present and Future
18
Existing DA: Discrete device
based (reclosers, sectionalizers, transfer schemes)
Substation‐based Fully centralized
(e.g. DERMS, FLISR systems, etc.)
Decentralized (IntelliTeam‐ II / ‐SG)
Future DA: Utility owned/operated
microgrids Market signal based (similarities
to real‐time pricing) Architecture
o Centralized ‐‐ complete knowledge of everything, including your toaster, sent to the Control Center versus
o Decentralized ‐‐minimum knowledge of the system required to operate safely
Obvious Protection Related Questions
19
Distribution protective element selection and coordination o Can transmission protection concepts (impedance, line diff, etc.) be
translated to distribution?o Can existing distribution protection be adapted to support the
operational paradigm? New protection design, testing, and operations basis
o Worst case conditions (present standard)?o Probabilistic assessment that identifies the limits of protection, as a
possible real‐time input to operations (future approach)? Communication design and testing basis
o The outside world is moving toward nearly perfect comms (4G+, 5G, LTE, fiber, etc.) everywhere.
o Design for perfect comms, No comms, Degraded comms?o Testing approach for comms‐based protection?
