Patent number: 10901383Abstract: An integrated microgrid management system includes hardware operating as a node on an electrical power network. The node includes memory storing program code, a communications channel operatively connected to a plurality of controllable power devices, and a processor. In an embodiment, the processor is configured to implement a three-phase AC unbalanced model of a microgrid network, for both low and medium voltage networks. The processor is further configured to implement a topology processor that creates a map identifying controllable power devices that are connected to the network and how said controllable power devices are connected. The processor also implements an online power flow engine that uses the map and the three-phase AC unbalanced model of the network to generate commands to control the plurality of controllable power devices. Adaptive self-configuration logic and an optimization engine that performs multi-objective optimization are further disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Inventors: Joshua Wong, Cedric Tai, Reza Iravani, Milan Graovac, Xiaolin Wang, Subramaniam Harisuthan

Publication number: 20180301907Abstract: Various distribution side controllers for power systems are disclosed. Power systems includes a power generation subsystem and one or more distribution networks. Power systems may also include a transmission system coupled between the power generation subsystem and the distribution networks. The distribution side controller monitors the operation and availability of power from distributed power sources coupled to its respective distribution network, as well as load demand from loads on the distribution network. The distribution side controller may also monitor conditions on the distribution network to identify a power imbalance within the distribution network. The distribution side controller responds to such imbalances to reduce their effect on the power system as a whole. In some embodiments, multiple distribution side controllers for various distribution networks may cooperate to provide efficient power generation for the whole power systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Reza Iravani, Mohammad Sedighy, Tom Wai Lai Ma
