    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating a non-exclusive example of a power grid state response system.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION As will be described in more detail below, mobile energy resources, such as electric or hybrid based socket vehicles, can be integrated into an electrical supply system or power grid, such as for response to different power grid states. For example, mobile energy resources can be used for power supply or power response applications, such as in the event of a shortage of electricity. According to some examples, information regarding the geographic location of one or fl your mobile energy resources and / or their charge level (s) can be used to evaluate possible candidates for integration into a power grid, in order to respond to a lack of supply in a specific area of the power grid.
    The electrical distribution system, or "power grid", can refer to a power supply system or network that connects producers of power with consumers of power. The power grid may include generators, transformers, interconnectors, switching stations, and safety equipment as part of raw power transmission systems and / or a commercial power supply system. It will be appreciated that the systems and methods described herein may be scaled vertically, such as pre-use in a neighborhood, city, sector, control area, and also one or two interconnectors such as one or eight of the eight large scale interconnectors in the North American Electric Reliability Council. NERC). The systems and methods described herein may be horizontally scalable, such as to provide power services to your network areas simultaneously.
    The term "power grid condition" as used herein may refer to the need to hammer or less force fl into or out of at least a portion of the power grid. According to some examples, such network conditions may manifest themselves as power grid instabilities or power quality events, which may include voltage deviations, such as undervoltage or overvoltage events, frequency deviations, such as sub- or over-frequency events, and or other disturbances in the quality of power supplied by the power grid, such as sub-cycles. voltage spikes and harmonics.
    The power supplied or fed into an electric power grid can be roughly grouped such as base load, peak power, spin reserves, and regulation. Baseload power discharge force provided around the clock, or 24/7. Peak power refers to the power supplied at times of the day when high levels of power consumption are expected, such as on hot summer afternoons. Spin reserves refer to additional production capacity that can be used to quickly provide power, such as within 10 minutes, at the request of the network operator. Control, in English also called "automatic generation control" (AGC), frequency control can be used to fine-tune the network frequency and voltage by matching production with load requirements. According to some examples, regulation can be classified as either "regulation up", which refers to the ability to increase power production from a basic level to prevent one voltage and frequency drop when load exceeds production, and "regulation down", which refers to the ability to reduce power production from the basic level.
    The term "" power response "" as used herein refers to a response to a different power grid condition. It will be appreciated that power response, or demand response, may include adding or feeding power and / or taking power from the power grid, such as by adding load and / or storing energy.
    The term "energy resource" as used herein refers to electrical entities that can be ordered or requested to supply power, take or consume power, and or store energy. To provide power, an energy source can act as a power generator or source. To take power, an energy resource can act as a load and / or store energy. Non-exclusive illustrative examples of energy resources may include battery / charger / inverter systems for electric or hybrid vehicles, storage units for used but functional batteries for electric vehicles, fixed energy storage, fuel cell generators, emergency generators, adjustable loads, or the like.
    The term "mobile energy resource", or "MORE" (from the English term "mobile energy resource"), as used herein, may refer to an energy resource that can be dispatched to reach and / or connected to various locations in the entire electricity grid, in order to provide a power response. MORE itself: the widow must be mobile in such a way that she herself can be physically present at different geographical locations on or within the electricity power grid, such as when MER: is an electric vehicle.
    As used herein, the term "electric vehicle" shall be given a broad interpretation to refer to vehicles that have electric power generation and / or storage capacity, as well as vehicles that can be connected to the power grid to recharge the vehicle's energy storage system. Thus, non-exclusive illustrative examples of "electric vehicles" include both pure electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, such as hybrid-based electric vehicles with plugs. Vehicle energy storage systems may include batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, or the like, or any combination thereof.
    The availability of two-way communication between power companies and end consumers and / or advanced monitoring and control capacities, such as within the framework of smart grids, enables demand or power response applications. Demand or power response applications can be aimed at reducing the peak demand in a supply network, or lots therein, by temporarily switching off the end consumer's loads and / or by sending request signals to the end consumer to reduce their electricity consumption for a short period of time. From the power company's perspective, demand or power response applications can avoid the additional and / or increased costs of producing power outside the base load. From the end consumer's perspective, needs or power response applications can provide financial incentives. The presence of distributed energy resources, such as MERs, and appropriate two-way communication allow power companies to perform demand or power response applications by, for example, not only requesting the end consumer to lower their consumption level but also by requesting a single feed back to the grid from available resources. MORE used as distributed energy resources can be dispatched and / or classified or selected as suitable candidates for demand or power response applications based on two varying parameters: location and dispatch capacity.
    The term "dispatch capacity" as used herein refers to an MER's ability to provide a force response and may correspond to a magnitude or duration of force response available from a particular MER. For example, in the case where an MER is an electric vehicle, the dispensing capacity may be the discharge rate or duration from the electric vehicle, which may be a function of the vehicle's current state of charge.
    The systems and procedures described herein can provide coordinated, localized, dispatch of a number of MERs, such as in response to a lack of access to a supply network. Using the systems and procedures described herein, a power company, or electricity supplier, may respond to a condition in one or fl your areas or lots in the electricity grid, which may be any batch or combination of one or fl your feeders, by dispatching available MORE, such as MORE which are close to the areas of the electricity grid.
    A non-exclusive example of a power grid response system is generally shown at 20 in Figure 1. Unless otherwise indicated, the system 20 may include at least one of the designs, components, functions, and / or variations described herein, but is not required to do so. . Although certain aspects of the following examples are discussed with reference to electric vehicles, it will be appreciated that the systems described herein may use any suitable MORE.
    As will be described in more detail below, the system 20 can also be activated by operator 22 to provide a power response to a power grid condition, such as dispatching a MER, such as the vehicle 24. As shown in Figure 1, operator 22 may activate the power response system by providing , such as input, one or fl your desired expedition levels 30, a start time and duration 32 for the power response, and a desired expedition area 34. The desired expedition level 30 may specify a desired level of power output, such as the number of megawatts (MW) for a particular power response.
    The desired dispatch area 34 may refer to the geographic area from which the operator can dispatch MOREs for a particular power response. A desired dispensing area can be defined by using an appropriate criterion, such as the proximity of the dispensing area to the area of the power grid having an electric power state requiring a power response, there network constraints for the portions of the power grid between the desired dispensing area and the power grid area requiring proximity or proximity. the desired dispensing area and / or near the power grid area that requires a single power response, the availability of connection points for MERs near or in the desired dispensing area and / or near the power grid area that requires a power response, or the like.
    The illustrated system 20 includes a local and foreign agent module 40, a MER or vehicle database 42, a proximity matching module 44, a contract matching module 46, a capacity calculation module 48, and a command generating module 50. In some examples, the can system 20 includes and / or receive input. and / or data from an economics dispatch module 52 and a network model 54. Although the system 20 illustrated in Figure 1 where each module is linked to specific second modules, it should be appreciated that the various modules in the system 20 may receive and / or access the information and / or data input to, processed by, and / or output from any of the modules in the system 20.
    In accordance with some examples, an MER will be suitably equipped to participate in a power response provided by the system 20. For example, an MER may need to be configured to communicate with, and receive a forwarding request from, the system 20. In such examples, a MER, such as the vehicle 24, include or be provided with a suitable communication box or module 60 and control box or module 62.
    The MER communication module 60 may be configured to transmit otherwise transmitted information to the system 20, such as in response to signals received from the system 20. For example, the MER communication module 60 may be configured to: send to the system 20 an indication that the MER or owners are interested in participating in a power response, to send to the local and foreign agent module 40 a MER identification (ID) and the geographic coordinates of the MER, to send to the capacity calculation module 48 its available dispatch capacity, and to the command generating module 50 an acceptance or rejection of a dispatch request. In accordance with examples where the MERs are electric vehicles, the MER communication module 60 may send a vehicle identification (ID) and the geographical coordinates of the vehicle to the local and foreign agent module 40, its current battery charge and / or available discharge capacity to the capacity calculation module 48, and an acceptance or rejection request. to the command generating module 50.
    The MER communication module 60 may be configured to receive information from the system 20. As will be described in more detail below, the MER communication module 60 may be configured to receive a dispatch request from the command generating module 50.
    The MER control modules 62 may be configured to control the response from the MER on a dispatch request. In accordance with examples where the MERs are in-vehicle, the MER control modules 62 may be configured to control the vehicle power source while the vehicle is discharged at a charging point or otherwise provides a power response to the power grid.
    In accordance with some examples, MERs interested in participating in a power response may be registered with either the power company or other entities controlling the system 20, or with a MER aggregator which may act as an independent service provider to the power company. The local and foreign agent module 40 may receive a MER ID and current geographic coordinates for MERs that are within range of the desired dispatch area and that are configured to participate in and / or are interested in participating in a force response.
    The local and foreign agent module 40 can compare the received data MER IDs and / or current geographical coordinates with the information in the vehicle database 42 to determine which MERs are already registered with the power company and / or the aggregator associated with the system 20 and which MERs which are not. are registered and / or are not associated with or belong to the forwarding area or the power company's coverage area. The registered MERs can be identified as local agents, and the non-registered MERs can be identified as foreign agents. Information pre-registered MERs can already be found in the vehicle database 42 because information for non-registered MERs can be added to the database as temporary entries. In accordance with some examples, non-registered MERs will be configured in an appropriate manner to notify the power company and / or the aggregator of its presence near the area and its interest in participating in a power response and also its conditions for such participation. can be vehicles that are temporarily located near or in the dispatch area, or are not yet registered with the power company / aggregator, the local and foreign agent module40 can support or allow the integration of new or temporary resources in a single power response in the form of unregistered MERs that are, or will be, close to the desired dispatch area.
    The proximity matching module 44 may receive data from the local and foreign agent module 40 regarding MERs near or in the desired dispatch area. The proximity matching module 44 can use the MER's geographic data to locate and / or identify the MERs that are closer to the desired area and rank / list these MERs according to a combination of the distance to the desired area and the MERs available dispensing capacity. By ranking the MERs, the proximity matching module 44 can provide a relatively local power response by allowing the system 20 to send dispatch requests to MERs that are relatively close and have sufficient dispatch capacity, without sending the dispatch request to MERs that are very close to the desired area but which has little or no dispatch capacity, or MORE that have a high dispatch capacity but are relatively far from the area. Since the MOREs are electric vehicles, the ranking can prevent the forwarding request to vehicles that are very close to the desired area but have almost dead batteries. In accordance with some examples, geographic location of MERs use the Global Positioning System (GPS) and / or triangulation of mobile phones or GSM antennas in situations where GPS coverage is unreliable and / or unavailable, such as in covered buildings.
    The contract matching module 46 may receive the terms of the MER contract regarding participation in a force response and rank or list the MERs in accordance with the terms of their contract. For example, the contract matching module 46 may rank or list electric vehicles in accordance with the terms of their contract available in the vehicle database 42 and based on the power response condition, such as start time, available incentive, duration, or the like.
    The capacity calculation module 48 can calculate a dispatch duration for a MER based on the available dispatch capacity of the MER and can calculate the remaining dispatch capacity after the power response. In accordance with examples where the MERs are electric vehicles, the capacity calculating module 48 may calculate the duration of discharge required from the vehicle battery and also determine the remaining charge in the battery after that request discharge duration based on either the current charge level information of the vehicle battery received. For example, the discharge duration and / or the remaining charge information can be double-checked by the contract-matching module46 for at least some vehicles, which can ensure that the dispatch request meets the conditions of the contract of these vehicles.
    The command generation module 50 can generate a dispatch or dispatch request and send it to MERs identified and / or selected for participation in demand or power response. The dispatch request request includes an address and / or directions or a route to a single connection point or station, a connection start time and / or duration, and the remaining response capacity after completion of the MER's participating force response. In accordance with examples where the MER is an electric vehicle, the dispatch request may include an address and / or directions to the connection point or station for electric vehicles, a start time and / or duration of the pre-discharge, and an estimated or expected residual charge after completion of the requested discharge. The command generation module 50 can receive an acceptance or rejection signal from the MER or MER: single owner. In accordance with some examples, the command generation module 50 may execute a loop including sending the forwarding request and receiving acceptance or rejection signals until the acceptance signals indicate a power response sufficient for the requested forwarding level. The command generation module 50 may send a dispatch to any appropriate or entered MORE.
    When included in the system 20, the economical dispatch module 52 may take inbound MER junctions, or electric car charging / discharging stations, within a specific area of a supply network as a virtual distributed or dispersed generation unit (DG) capable of inputting energy in the supply network. In accordance with such examples, the system 20, such as the throughput module 52, may be configured to minimize and / or prevent various network constraints from being broken as a result of the power response. For example, the particular MERs selected to provide a particular power response may be selected based solely on their proximity. to the 12 dispatch area but also with regard to the network constraints between the MER and the dispatch area. Non-exclusive illustrative examples of network constraints include maintaining the magnitude and phase angle of the bus voltage within acceptable ranges, such as within 5% of nominal value quoted, maintaining cable fates and currents so that the thermal limits of the cables are not exceeded, balanced loads are maintained, and the like. The system's consideration of network constraints can reduce or prevent the breaches of network constraints that can result from over-located forwarding of the number of MERs where the dispatched MERs are connected to the network within a relatively small area.
    The following paragraphs describe non-exclusive illustrative examples of procedures for responding to power grid states using the concepts and components described herein. Although the actions according to the procedures described herein may be performed in the order described below, it is within the scope of the description of the actions that they, either alone or in various combinations, may be performed before and / or after any of the other actions. In addition, although some aspects of the following examples are discussed with reference to electric vehicles, it will be appreciated that the methods described herein may use any suitable MERs.
    A method of responding to a power grid condition comprises identifying a portion of the power grid for a power response, identifying at least one MER and at least one switching site or area suitable for use of the MER, and dispatching the MER to one of the switching sites. Some examples of the procedures described herein include additional acts, functions and / or features, such as those set forth below.
    Some examples of the methods described herein may include determining or identifying one of the nearest junctions for each MER. For example, at least some of the MERs may be dispatched to the corresponding nearest junction sites. The nearest connection point for a particular MER can be determined based on the proximity of that MER to the different connection points. As used herein, the proximity to a 13 junction may refer to a distance from the MER's current location to the junction and / or an estimated travel time to the junction. The distance a MER's current location to a junction may refer to an absolute distance and / or travel or mileage, such as when the MERs are electric vehicles.
    Some examples of the methods described herein may include determining an area of operation for the MERs and identifying a number of MERs that are in or near the area of operation. Scope for MER: ernakan be at least partly based on the portion of the electricity grid for which a single power response is desired. The identified MERs and / or the connection points for the MERs may be close to the part of the electricity grid.
    Some examples of the methods described herein may include identifying or selecting a subset of MERs for dispatch to provide or contribute to a force response. For example, a magnitude of the desired power response can be determined for a given power grid state, and the subset MERs can be selected such that the collective or combined dispensing capacity of the MERs in the subset is at least equal to the magnitude of the desired power response.
    Some examples of the methods described herein may include determining the value of at least one identified MER and dispatching at least some of the valued MERs to a switching site if is higher than a predetermined threshold. The valuation for a particular MER may at least be based on an available dispatch capacity determined for the MER and / or the MER's proximity to the connection point, which may be the closest of the connection points. For example, a MER that has a relatively high available handling capacity and that is also relatively close to at least one connection site can be given a relatively high valuation. However, a relatively low valuation can be given to a MER which has a relatively high available dispensing capacity but which is relatively far away from all the connection points, or which has a relatively low available dispensing capacity even if it is relatively close to at least one connection point. 14 The predetermined threshold for the valued MER can be established by the power company or the operator. The predetermined threshold may be arbitrarily set or it may be a function of the type of and / or number of available MERs, the type of power response desired, network constraints, or the like. According to some examples, the predetermined threshold and / or MER rating may be such that the dispatched MER is relatively close to the dispatch area and has a relatively high available dispatch capacity.
    Some examples of the methods described herein may include ranking at least some of the MERs based on one or more of their predetermined criteria. For example, each MER can be ranked based at least in part on its dispatch capacity and / or its proximity to the nearest connection point. In accordance with some examples, a dispatch capacity and proximity to the nearest switching point may be weighted in determining the ranking. For example, the network constraints for certain areas in the power grid may be such that a single power response to an electric power grid condition in those areas should use MORE: which is relative to that area. In accordance with examples where the MERs are ranked, the subset of MERs identified and / or selected for participation in the force response may include higher ranked MERs.
    The power response provided by the methods described herein may be in the form of an input of electric power from at least one MER. In accordance with some examples, at least some MERs may be vehicles comprising a single energy source, while the coupling sites may be configured to selectively receive power from the source of electricity. For example, at least some of the MERs may be electric vehicles, such as electric socket vehicles or hybrid-based electric vehicles, and at least some of the connection points may be charging points connected to the power grid and configured pre-use with electric vehicles. Thus, dispatch of a MER to a single connection point may include sending to an electric vehicle a discharge duration or setpoint, directions to a charge point, and / or information regarding estimated charge after completion of the requested discharge. As will be appreciated, the discharge duration sent to a particular MER may be based at least in part on the dispensing capacity of that vehicle, which may be a function of the available discharge capacity of the vehicle and / or its batteries or other energy source at the time of dispatch.
    In accordance with some examples, the power response may be in the form of a load sum of the MER being added to a particular area in the power grid. For example, the MER can be dispatched to a special connection point to get the MER's energy source recharged from the power grid.
    Some examples of the procedures described herein may include providing incentives for non-compliance and / or imposing penalties for non-compliance. For example, the dispatch of a given MER may be in the form of a request that the MER proceed to, and connect to, a particular connection location. If the MER responds to the request and / or fulfills the dispatch, the MER can receive an incentive for the fulfillment. The incentive or reward provided to a particular MER for having fulfilled a particular expedition may be a function of whether the MER is enrolled or non-enrolled, and of the terms of a contract that may exist, such as between the owner of the MER and the power company or MER aggregator.
    The incentive may be based on providing a service to the power grid by participating in a power response by supplying and / or removing power from the grid. Non-exclusive illustrative examples of incentives, which vary between different MERs and power grid owners or operators and which may be contract specific, may include providing payment or other credit to the MER or its owners for power supplied to the grid and discounted power prices taken from The incentive may include payment of a lump sum or credit for a specified period of time for provided power responses or payment or credits at a special rate per kilowatt hour (kWh) supplied during the power response. The rates associated with a particular incentive may vary 16 or be adjusted based on invoices such as time of day and / or special power grid permits. In accordance with some examples, the rates may be adjusted up or down depending on the acceptance / deflection ratio for particular expedited request, to obtain a desired level of MER acceptance for expedition request.
    In accordance with some examples, a penalty may be imposed on an MER or its owner if the MER does not respond to a dispatch request and / or does not comply with the dispatch. Whether or not a penalty should be imposed for a specific MER and the type and / or extent of the sentence imposed may be a function of whether the MER is enrolled or non-enrolled and the terms of a contract that may exist. For example, an enrolled MER may receive a fine or deduction from future payments if it does not respond to a dispatch request and / or does not fulfill the dispatch. In accordance with some examples, such as for non-registered MERs for which there is no contract for a power response or for registered MERs with suitable contract terms, the penalty may be limited to non-payment of a special service that is not fulfilled.
    In accordance with some examples, incentives may be available where a MER is made available to participate in a power response, but without actually supplying or removing power from the grid. In particular, some MOREs may receive an incentive to act in a role similar to a spin reserve. For example, the MER or its owners can be paid for a period of time during which the MER's owner agrees to make the MER available to provide a spin reserve, regardless of whether the MER actually supplies and / or removes power from the network. However, in such an arrangement, a penalty may be imposed if the MER does not respond to a single dispatch during the period in which the MER would be made available to provide a force response.
