Introduction
» In order to achieve the goal of 20,20,20, Large scale integration of
renewable energy sources and Plug-in Electric Vehicles in the existing
networks.
» Current situation of balance settlement mainly in transmission
networks.
» TSO (transmission system operator) is to manage the balance of
its control area.
» BRPs (balance responsible party) must balance power on a
quarter-hourly basis, (by nominations and imbalance tariffs).
» DSO (Distribution system operator) is only doing the smart
metering.

6. Presented by Dr. Yonghua CHENG during Digital Cities Symposium on 23-24/09/2011 in Athens
Main activities
» A software package (virtual agent), is being developed, which can
set up a virtual market between various power production and
consumption parties.
» VITO is also developing the intelligent power electronics systems to
ensure the reliability of networks (in case of RES and Plug-in EVs).
» With VITO technology, coordination via ICT infrastructure and grid
control with intelligent power electronics can be done in different
time scales.
» As a result, the potential business cases and jobs are created to
support the regional development (at least in Flanders).

Methods of power management in smart grids
» Based on the ICT infrastructure, the methods can be in
» Agent-based control
» Event-based control (e.g. price of electricity).
» Power flow optimization (introducing a virtual agent in the server to
generate an offset of power flow for the optimization in smart grid)
The goal is Agent-based control

Active participation
» Demand side management enables to reduce the cost or to increase
income in household applications, since time shift-able loads/sources can
response the price of electricity and the moment of high production of
renewable energy.

The reference (on-going) projects
Linear project (in Flemish region)
» To assess the characteristics of electric power network due to the
demand side management.
» The evaluation is based on the field tests (in one house, many
houses in different areas and many houses in the same area).
» At this moment, a home lab has been developed with possible time
shift-able sources and loads.

The reference (on-going) projects
E-harbors (in north sea region)
» Nine European partners search for a more sustainable energy
model for port cities (e.g. Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and
Hamburg).
» Harbors are major energy consumers. They are also the good place
to get renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, tidal, biomass, …) and to
be consumed locally.
» As a result, port cities contribute significantly to reduce our region’s
energy consumption and CO2 emission.
