Abstract

The uptick in stochastic power generation present on the grid has posed a unique set of problems for grid operators. Photovoltaics (PVs) and wind turbines act unpredictably on a minute-to-minute basis, raising concerns around transmission efficiency and grid stability. One solution to the concerns of efficiency and stability is the implementation of energy storage-based power packet networks (PPNs). Modern grids are limited to one frequnecy and the limitations of being synchronous. Asynchronous variable frequency PPN control design is able to handle less predictable power sources. This paper presents a multi-frequency grid using a Hamiltonian Surface Shaping and Power Flow Control (HSSPFC) paradigm to design a controller capable of routing generator power to loads while considering energy storage sizing. A bandpass filter is emulated on bus loads using an integral-derivative controller on voltage sources.
