  • Publication number: 20140375128
    Abstract: A method of stabilizing a DC electricity network, the network including a DC voltage source powering electrical loads that are connected in parallel to terminals of the voltage source and each of which is to receive a current or voltage setpoint. The method stabilizes the network by regulating setpoints applied to the loads by a virtual stabilization impedance generated at terminals of each load, the virtual impedances being dimensioned to stabilize the network in desired operating points and in given configurations of the network including a state in which at least one load is inactive or has failed and a state in which the stabilization of a load is inactive. Each virtual impedance is generated by a non-linear regulation loop acting on the setpoint for the corresponding load.
