Multiport Autonomous Reconfigurable Solar Power Plant

This project is developing an integrated system of modular power electronics devices that connect utility-scale solar power plants and energy storage with the high voltage direct current and alternating current distribution and transmission grid. This system, referred to as a multiport autonomous reconfigurable solar power plant, will introduce greater grid stability and enable continued operation under grid disturbances through advanced controls. It will also include a cyber-physical security layer for the controller that uses a combination of data-based and physics-based integrity checks to determine intrusions.
