DGR (Battery) equivalent impedance expectation 7/28/2020
Simplest model Real equipment like circuit breaker is needed between line and node1 To isolate DGR to grid no pseudo-equipment is needed between DGR and node1 CLR and node1 Advantage Minimize pseudo-equipment Simplify operation model Facilitate outage coordination Line node2 Breaker node1 DGR CLR 2 PUBLIC
RARF sample RARF Planning Gen Data 3 PUBLIC
Impedance modeling issue Impedance does not reflect equivalent impedance of entire generating unit RARF Planning GEN tab one battery-inverter module Impedance does not reflect impedance of entire generating unit does not have pad-mount step up transformer data Transformer impedance derived from test report or word document which is not part of RARF data does not have GenUnit-Battery-inverter-transformer configuration Estimate based on one-line Example 1 unit with 4 batteries, each batteries connect to one inverter, each inverter to one transformer 4 PUBLIC
Impedance modeling issue contd Other generators using GEN FORM has equivalent impedance impedance data in RARF not accurately reflected in ERCOT models affecting downstream systems 5 PUBLIC
