  • Publication number: 20240128754
    Abstract: A startup method and startup program for microgrid that enable to stably start up the microgrid without producing frequency fluctuation is provided. An embodiment of the present disclosure is a startup method for microgrid configured by a plurality of inverter power supplies independently sharing a load and divided into a master that starts up first and a slave that starts up secondly and later, the startup method comprising: a master initial startup step of initially starting up the master in a CVCF mode; a slave initial startup step of initially starting up the slave in a grid interconnection mode; and a control mode changing step of the master and the slave changing control modes thereof when output fluctuation of the master and the slave becomes a predetermined threshold or less or when the master and the slave or other inverter power supplies become a predetermined operation state while output voltage of said master and said slave becomes a predetermined threshold or less.

  • Publication number: 20240005426
    Abstract: An information-processing device, information-processing method, and program capable of formulating proposed changes to social infrastructure are provided. The information-processing device has a generation unit and a formulation unit. The generation unit uses a policy function, which is a probability model for facility changes for a system having a graph structure, and generates a facility change proposal candidate. The formulation unit evaluates the reliability of the system, for each facility change proposal candidate generated by the generation unit.

  • Publication number: 20210305806
    Abstract: A power supply system according to an embodiment includes at least one or more inverter-connected power sources, a controller, and a current supplier. The inverter-connected power sources are connected to a power transmission line provided in an electric grid. The controller limits, based on output states of the inverter-connected power sources, current output from the inverter-connected power sources to the power transmission line. The current supplier is connected to the power transmission line in parallel with the inverter-connected power sources and when the controller limits the current output of the inverter-connected power sources, outputs a current to the power transmission line.
