Microgrid and Blockchain: Bringing Sustainable Electricity to Myanmar Abstract Myanmar’s limited electricity infrastructure presents an opportunity to privately develop microgrids that are separate from the existing centralized grid system. The technological breakthroughs in microgrid and blockchain systems enable private investors to develop blockchain-based microgrid systems that allow prosumers- consumers who also produce energy with household solar panels- to freely trade energy within the microgrid community. A blockchain-based microgrid system that incentivizes all parties to optimally produce and consume electricity according to the aggregate supply and demand is proposed to minimize the need for storage and ensure efficient allocation of energy. Examples of the combination of blockchain and renewable energy already exist, such as SolarCoin, the first solar energy-based digital currency. A pilot project for a blockchain-based microgrid system is underway in Brooklyn Microgrid (BMG). These pilot projects are collecting data and adjusting their models to build a scalable blockchain-based microgrid model. More pilot projects are needed in Myanmar in order to identify the specific egionalr challenges and variables required for building an optimal, socially inclusive model.

Implementing and managing multiple energy sources, including renewable generation, helps to maintain energy security. supply of electricity. Furthermore, local management of DERs reduces supply chain risks associated with traditional energy sources. New revenue streams Attractive feed-in tariffs for renewable generation have seen new investors outside the traditional energy industry investing in renewables bringing new entrants to the market. New commercial models are emerging including peer to peer energy transactions. Increasing availability and affordability As DERs are becoming more cost effective and readily available, there is a rise of the prosumer, where customers are both the producers and consumers of electricity.

  • Functional Requirements for Blackstart and Power System Restoration from Wind Power Plants
    2nd Int'l Conference on Large-Scale Grid Integration of Renewable Energy in India| New Delhi, India | 4-6 Sep 2019 Functional Requirements for Blackstart and Power System Restoration from Wind Power Plants Anubhav Jain , Jayachandra N. Sakamuri , Kaushik Das , Omer¨ Goksu¨ and Nicolaos A. Cutululis Department of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark, Roskilde, Denmark Abstract—In the recent years, the worldwide grid integration per kWh [5]. Moreover, due to onshore space constraints and of renewable energy sources (RES) has grown rapidly. How- poorer wind conditions, large offshore wind power plants ever, the grid-integration of large volume of renewables like (OWPP) with high power WTs have gained popularity and wind and solar, interfaced by power electronics converters, is changing the dynamics of the power system and creating this has led to an increase in the share of offshore wind challenges to maintain reliability, robustness and stability energy [6]. In India, the wind energy share is almost 50% of electricity supply. Morevoer, the stronger inter-linking of of the total grid-interactive RES capacity at present, and in networks poses a greater risk of wide-area blackouts. With terms of meeting its ambitious 2022 targets, wind power is the growing share of wind power in the grid and conventional more than halfway towards its goal [4]. generators being phased out, large offshore wind power plants (OWPP) with state-of-the-art wind turbines (WT) can provide The next section of this paper presents the main factors services of blackstart and power system restoration (PSR) in motivating the need for development of blackstart (BS) the future.

  • Generator Black-Start Restoration Using Synchronized Measurement
    Application Note AN2006-08 Generator Black-Start Restoration Using Synchronized Measurement Mirek Wronski INTRODUCTION This application note demonstrates synchrophasor measurement in the SEL-421/-451 and SEL-311A, B, C, and L Relays and how it can provide valuable information during a generator black-start procedure. APPLICATIONS Restoring generating units after a power outage is more difficult if the power grid is unavailable at the time of the restoration, because then it is necessary to start generating units without access to the external power grid. Often, small diesel generators supply power to start hydroelectric generating stations, which are then used to start coal-fired stations. Once the coal-fired generator is operational, it can be synchronized and reconnected to the power grid. If the power grid is energized, reconnecting the generator is only possible if the generator voltage is synchronized with the power grid voltage. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) recommends evaluating procedures and plans to assure effective black-start and restoration capabilities. To evaluate these procedures, it is necessary to conduct a black-start procedure exercise. SEL SOLUTIONS Consider the simplified power system shown in Figure 1. G1 T1 B1 B2 T2 G2 B3 Power Grid SEL PMCU1 SEL PMCU2 Figure 1 Simplified Power System for a Black-Start Exercise G1 represents hydrogeneration, T1 is a step-up transformer, and B1 is the circuit breaker. G2 represents thermal generation, with T2 as a step-up transformer and B2 as a circuit breaker. B3 is a circuit breaker connecting local generation to an external power grid. SEL PMCU1 and SEL PMCU2 are two phasor measurement control units used to synchronize the two systems.

Positive development has been achieved since the last decade by the collective effort of scientists. In this regard, renewable energy sources (RES) are being deployed in the power system to meet the energy demand. The microgrid concept (AC, DC) is introduced, in which distributed energy resources (DERs), the energy storage system (ESS) and loads are interconnected. DC microgrids are appreciated due to their high efficiency and reliability performance. Despite its significant growth, the DC microgrid is still relatively novel in terms of grid architecture and control systems. In this context, an energy management system (EMS) is essential for the optimal use of DERs in secure, reliable, and intelligent ways.

The storage system is one of the most crucial components since inappropriate design can affect reliability and final costs. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt reliable models able to realistically reproduce the working condition of the application. In this paper, different models of lithium-ion battery are considered in the design process of a microgrid. Two modeling approaches (analytical and electrical) are developed based on experimental measurements. The derived models have been integrated in a methodology for the robust design of off-grid electric power systems which has been implemented in a MATLAB-based computational tool named Poli.NRG (POLItecnico di Milano—Network Robust desiGn). The procedure has been applied to a real-life case study to compare the different battery energy storage system models and to show how they impact on the microgrid design.
