The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) with the assistance of the Department of Energy (DOE) has developed a vendor-neutral test bed environment to evaluate the future electric system and enable the industry to reduce the entry barriers for advanced application and control to assist with energy transition. With the increase of distributed energy resources (DERs) utilities are searching for opportunities to leverage the information and technology to increase grid services to augment resiliency and optimize power delivery. This session will highlight NREL and Survalent partnership on three different use cases leveraging the ADMS test bed. One project explores the coordinated capability of the Survalent ADMS dynamic voltage regulation and distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) to assist utilities with peak load management and reduce demand charges. The remaining projects leverage the fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR) application to increase resiliency by employing DERs to reduce the number of affected customers and an intelligent distribution automation control to obtain self-healing distribution grid capabilities.
