    摘要: This disclosure describes a system and method for a central controller layer to monitor conditions and control operations of an electric grid. The central controller layer communicates with an intermediate controller layer that includes hubs to monitor operations of grid edge devices connected to different regions of the electric grid. The central controller layer obtains, from each hub, sensor data corresponding to measurements performed by the grid edge devices. The central controller layer determines, based on the sensor data and expected grid-wide operations, control strategies with expected electrical operating conditions for the respective region, and provides a respective control strategy to each hub. In response to receiving the respective control strategy for the hub, each hub generates operational parameters for at least one grid edge device that cause a grid edge device to adjust its operation based on the expected amount of power flow for the hub.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing electric grid timing coordination. The method can include: receiving, by a first electric grid device, a message from a second electric grid device, the message including a first clock value associated with an oscillator of the second electric grid device; determining, based on the first clock value, a second-first device time offset between the second electric grid device and the first electric grid device; and storing the second-first device time offset in a time offset table stored at the first electric grid device.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for selecting, from a unified electrical power grid model, a first proper subset of elements of the model. A first electrical grid simulation model is selected. A second, differing proper subset of elements of the model are selected. A second electrical grid simulation model that differs from the first electrical grid simulation model is selected. A set of boundary conditions common to the first electrical grid simulation model and the second electrical grid simulation model are determined. Operation of the electrical power grid is simulated, and can include (i) simulating, using the first electrical grid simulation model, the first proper subset of elements of the unified model, and the set of boundary conditions; and (ii) simulating, using the second electrical grid simulation model and the second proper subset of elements of the unified model, and the set of boundary conditions.

    摘要: A compound motor-generator system including a first motor-generator and a second motor-generator. The first motor generator includes a stator having a set of three-phase field windings and a first rotor disposed inside and coaxial with the stator and configured to rotate relative to the stator. The second motor-generator includes a rotational stator and a second rotor coupled to a common shaft with the rotor of the first motor-generator and disposed inside and coaxial to the rotational stator. The rotational stator is configured to rotate relative to the second rotor and at a higher rotational speed than the second rotor.

    摘要: A power distribution system includes a bidirectional power converter, a battery, and a controller. The bidirectional power converter is operable to (i) convert AC power received at AC terminals to DC power at DC terminals and (ii) convert DC power received at the DC terminals to AC power at the AC terminals. The bidirectional power converter is disposed within a converter stack formed by a plurality of power converters having DC terminals that are coupled to each other in series. The battery is arranged to be selectively couplable to the DC terminals of the bidirectional power converter. The controller is configured to (i) determine that the DC voltage across the DC terminals of the bidirectional power converter is below a threshold voltage and (ii) couple the battery to the DC terminals of the bidirectional power converter based on the determination that the DC voltage is below the threshold voltage.
