Ancillary Service

Introduction

According to Taiwan’s energy policy, it is expected that the demand for renewable energy, including mainly wind power and solar power, can reach a target of 20% in 2025. These distributed renewable energy resources are easily affected by factors such as weather, cloud shadow effects, etc., and their intermittent nature will reduce the power generation efficiency. When there is an imbalance between supply and demand, it will inevitably impact quality and stability of the power grid.

Provision of All-Round Power Trading Planning Service

To take into account of energy transition, stable renewable energy and power supply as well as the quality of power consumption, TPC has to keep a dynamic balance among power supply, transmission and distribution of its power system at a frequency of 60 hertz (Hz) all the time. TPC’s ancillary service solution can first transmit the data of the dispatchable resources from market providers to iBOX, and then applies the IEC 61850 and DNP 3.0 communication integration technology to transmit the data to trader’s platforms and day-ahead ancillary markets, which will help managers to carry out timely monitoring and achieve the optimal power resource allocation, thereby reducing costs and improving reliability and power efficiency.

IEC 61850

  • IEC 61850 is an international power standard communication protocol, which was formulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to define communication for intelligent electronic devices (IED) at substations
  • The purpose is to improve the situation of poor interoperability due to different communication protocols adopted by various power suppliers for substation automation
  • ICP is the first team in Taiwan to pass the 61850-10 international server certification
