Abstract
The Smart Grid Operation Centre (SGOC) is established on 1st April, 2021, as part of the purpose-built facilities of the Haking Wong Campus of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE), a Vocational Training Council (VTC) member institution. With the generous contributions and steadfast support from CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power), SGOC is served as simulation and training facility available to support all Smart Grid development in Hong Kong. The SGOC has installed the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) and Smart grid-related equipment, including the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), protection relay, and smart meter that can be looped into the simulator, for its capability and interoperability on real-time studies, including modeling and resolving the potential issues in realtime before they may impact the delivery or operation of the project or the smart grid network. Facing the up-coming challenges with penetration of renewable energy, digitalization, and increasing of electric vehicles, the SGOC provides a feasible range of smart grid related services in respect of real-time studies on the operation of smart grid system, operator training, and operational support that enable derisk deployment and operation of the related smart grid parties, and more practical and tailored training which increases familiarity and confidence of operators. This paper describes the practicalities of specifying, testing, installation and interfacing the platform, with a realtime simulator, at the SGOC, for future operational training and support use, including some uses on faults during operation, diagnosing alarms, scheme updates/upgrades and network interactions and range of smart grid focused training courses will be available and content enhancement into course delivery. Through these wide-ranging installations and systems, trainers will learn to apply the latest industry technologies. This will enrich their knowledge of smart grids and relevant new technologies, thereby helping to promote smart, clean energy development. This paper is also included the Power Hardware- In-the-Loop (PHIL) platform and a case study introduction for the frequency capability for microgrid and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) response.
