Congestion Management

Congestion Management : With the pace of energy transition increasing, grid operators are encountering an increasing number of power quality issues and capacity bottlenecks. These bottlenecks are caused by grid congestion. Traditionally this would have been resolved by reinforcing the physical grid. Building more transformers, installing cables with more capacity. However, the speed at which the energy transition is currently taking place is too fast for this traditional approach. As a result, other solutions which can be deployed quicker are required. Congestion Management is one of them. This can be done by using real-time sensor and operational data to monitor the condition of the grid.

The Congestion Management is build on a family of Power plant controllers like Hybrid PPC , Solar PPC , storage PPC...
 
Grid stability systems , Redispatch 2.0 , Power routing are functions based on this Hardware and software Platform ( with Frameworks and methods to change the behaviour of the system)

PPC

The Power Plant Controller (PPC) facilitates comprehensive regulation of active and reactive power as well as the voltage of heterogeneous PV systems. A high-accuracy power quality analyzer records all grid parameters during operation. This enables fast and stable control at the grid connection point. 


Every Grid operator, all around the country impose different technical requirements when it comes to connecting photovoltaic power plants to the transmission or distribution system. Power Plant Control (PPC) is very much important in the PV system, If the requirement of power in grid is less than the power generating from PV cell then it is required to control the Active Power, otherwise it will end up giving more power to grid than its requirement, which is not good. Similarly Active/Reactive power control is necessary to achieve the stable grid requirements.

The SCADA system continuously monitor active and reactive power import and export level for every seconds at the plant end point of common coupling (PCC) with Transmission line and system trigger the reactive power generation in both MPPT & Q mode of Inverter Operation. The feedback system continuously compare the fixed active power & reactive power with live Metering system available at PCC.


iPLON PPC (i-GoT) is an IoT Embedded based control system that can manage real and reactive power from solar, developed to be integrated into a power plant as a main governor, it can communicate with most of the Inverters able to receive commands and have ability to control the active & reactive power characteristics.
