Description

This dataset comprises the results obtained during ProMiSe project. In particular, scope of ProMiSe is to test and validate a new unified control architecture used to overcome voltage violations and voltage unbalance issues by conducting real-time simulations and utilizing a power hardware-in-the-loop platform.  The validation scheme reflects a range of different scenarios and realistic test cases of integration of the unified control strategy in modern distribution networks. In particular, three experiments are considered:

- Experiment 1: The performance of the proposed unified strategy is evaluated in a low-voltage (LV) distribution network (DN). The LV DN, the detailed model of a three-phase, four-leg converter (3Ph4LC) and the deployed voltage regulation (VR) / voltage unbalance mitigation (VUM) algorithms are developed in the real time digital simulator (RTDS).

- Experiment 2: The performance of the proposed unified strategy is evaluated in the LV DN of Experiment 1. The LV DN, the detailed model of a 3Ph4LC and the deployed VR/VUMalgorithms are developed in the RTDS. Compared to Experiment 1, in Experiment 2 the line R/X ratio is decreased, in order to demonstrate the impact of the R/X on the provided ancillary services. Here, it should be highlighted that grid voltage levels as well as the power levels of load nodes have been properly readjusted to achieve similar voltage levels to the point of the inter-connection (POI) of the 3Ph4LC with Experiment 1. 

- Experiment 3: The performance of the proposed unified strategy is evaluated in the LV DN of Experiment 1. The LV DN and the VR/VUM algorithms are developed in the RTDS. Compared to Experiment 1, in Experiment 3 the detailed model of the ProMiSe 3Ph4LC has been replaced with controllable current sources. Note that the filter has been remained in the analysis. Here, it should be highlighted that grid voltage levels have been properly readjusted to achieve similar voltage levels to POI with Experiment 1.  In addition, due to a resonance problem observed during the test between the lab equipment and the virtual network in the software platform, the filter parameters are readjusted to overcome the problem.

For each experiment, the obtained results are provided in csv format.
