摘要: Examples described herein include autonomous power control techniques for a decentralized power network. An example power network includes first and second power sources, a power bus, a communication bus, and first and second corresponding power control systems. In some examples, the first power control system includes an inverter that provides a first alternating-current (AC) signal from the first power source, and synchronization circuitry coupled to a power bus and synchronizes the first AC signal with a second AC signal on the power bus. The first power control system further includes a controller coupled to the inverter and provides first capacity information associated with the first power source to the second power control system, receives second capacity information associated with the second power source from the second power control system, and controls an amount of power to the power bus based on the first and second capacity information.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to self-synchronizing devices that can connect and self-synchronizes voltage, frequency and phase of two or more power sources. The disclosed embodiments enable a modular power system to serve as the primary or secondary source of power for applications requiring loads from a few kilowatts (kW) to the scale of megawatts (MW). The modular system is generalized to use either a single or multiple power generation sources at once, with the ability to connect and self-synchronize voltage, frequency, and phase of a variety of different types of power sources. Power control systems designed to function with self-synchronizing technology enable a modular power system to satisfy a wide variety of needs, simplifying the existing method of achieving synchronization and enabling new features of resiliency and expandability. The self-synchronization can be implemented into a wide variety of electronics including but not limited to inverters and generator controllers.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to modular microgrids and more particularly to core modules that comprise self-synchronizing devices that can connect and self-synchronizes voltage, frequency and phase with other power sources. The disclosed embodiments enable a modular power system to serve as the primary or secondary source of power for applications requiring loads from a few kilowatts (KW) to the scale of megawatts (MW). The modular system is generalized to use either a single or multiple power generation sources at once, with the ability to connect and self-synchronize voltage, frequency, and phase of a variety of different types of power sources.

摘要: If an additional power source is introduced at the distribution level it is then possible for power to flow back into the grid. This is a potentially undesired scenario, so much so that some entities enacted laws to regulate/control this scenario. There are also regulations in some places that restricts off-grid scenarios. The present disclosure is directed to embodiments that can operate with the grid, or islanded, with a range of grid load from 0-100%. 10% grid load is described as a model for abiding by legal interconnection/tax requirements. At the interconnection point/points there is typically protection and or control technology such as fuses in a circuit-breaker that limit current to a particular load or loads. A solution to this scenario, using split load configuration according to embodiments of the present disclosure, allows for both distributed generation and no power flow back into the grid.
