Abstract

Energy router is being investigated to replace conventional transformer in the electric grid. Improvement so far observed in use of converter makes possible the intelligent integration between systems with different characteristics’ in terms of frequency and voltage levels as well as exploitation of generation sources and storage systems typically operating in DC. Consequently, it is believed that Energy Router is able to interconnect different portions of electrical networks and at different voltage levels and types. The Energy Router is an assembly of converters isolated by a medium or high frequency transformer. In its design, different voltage levels and types are made available to achieve high results in terms of system integration, efficiency and flexibility. This paper evaluates the main potentials of this technology if widely introduced in the main power system. Starting from the single component description, a couple of possible applications are presented and discussed.

Abstract

Switched Reluctance Machines (SRMs) have drawn interest in renewable energy systems because of their special qualities and applicability. This study examines the idea of hysteresis current regulation in a wind energy conversion system with a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG). The system is modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The model is simulated and analyzed to ascertain the system’s benefits and shortcomings, focusing on reducing torque ripples in SRG. Considering most classical controllers are complicated to construct, the hysteresis current control is straightforward and effective. However, this controller's two primary shortcomings are that it produces a variable switching frequency and increases current ripples at a steady state, both enhancing acoustic noise in SRM.  Lastly, the report suggests that improving controller performance should be the primary emphasis of future research in this field.
