Prototyping reference model for combined behavior of ICT systems and energy equipment

Abstract

Distributed energy resources (DERs), such as electric vehicles and batteries have been focused for new flexibility resources to realize massive integration of photovoltaic power and wind power. DERs are expected to be controlled via the Internet, etc., but there are few simple models that can discuss complex behavior of both the communication process and DER itself. In this study, we constructed Model 0 as a rudimentary reference model that describes the structure of such complex behavior with delays. This paper explains an overview of Model 0 and examples of describing DERs with local connection and with cloud connection.
