Microgrid node management hardware
Microgrid node management hardware
One of the pillars of the Power Electronics Innovation Center (PEIC) is the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), such as wind and sun, into the electric grid. Such RESs are shifting the energy generation paradigm to a more distributed power system where the actors will be prosumers, both generating and consuming electrical energy. Such distributed approach may optimize the power flow within the electrical grid by forming microgrids, where local generating units supply local loads, without connection to the AC grid. Inverters interfacing both RESs and storage systems to such microgrids will form the local AC microgrid imposing voltage and frequency, equally share both active and reactive power among all the generating units in the microgrid and manage an optional resynchronization to the AC grid.
The goal of this thesis is the development of the hardware to manage and measure the power flow in an AC microgrid branch.
