Abstract

Power electronic (PE) systems are increasingly being integrated into the electric grid in a distributed fashion. As the number of installations increases, the challenge of integration of these systems into the grid is also growing. Advanced control features of these systems are often overlooked or neglected due to the complex nature and novelty of these systems. This is also complicated from the vendor point of view as different converter topology integration is usually composed of single system designs with tight coupling and configurations. The presented work discusses a novel architecture for the integration of PE systems with other sources and loads to create a coordinated controllable resource for the grid. The presented work also describes a system level controller to coordinate these systems.1Testing results on a hardware in the loop (HIL) platform are provided to show the validity of the proposed architecture and framework.
