Abstract

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) aid to an electrical grid in more implicit ways beyond just supplying of power. During High Impact (HI) events caused by weather disruptions, when the grid is in a reduced state of operation, significant presence of DERs has been found to mitigate further impacts to the system. Grid operators who benefit from having DERs in their system save on system recovery costs that can be redirected back to the prosumers who contribute through DER. In this work, a methodology is introduced to value the ancillary benefits provided by the DERs during a HI event, that can be used to compensate the prosumers. The proposed method is tested on a test system with high wind energy generation, where rooftop solar PV acts as the DER, and the validity of the results are explored. The method is further expanded to include all probable variations of HI events and quantify the value of a location acting as a DER host. © 2024 IEEE.
