Abstract: Examples described herein include autonomous power control techniques for a decentralized power network. An example power network includes first and second power sources, a power bus, a communication bus, and first and second corresponding power control systems. In some examples, the first power control system includes an inverter that provides a first alternating-current (AC) signal from the first power source, and synchronization circuitry coupled to a power bus and synchronizes the first AC signal with a second AC signal on the power bus. The first power control system further includes a controller coupled to the inverter and provides first capacity information associated with the first power source to the second power control system, receives second capacity information associated with the second power source from the second power control system, and controls an amount of power to the power bus based on the first and second capacity information.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to self-synchronizing devices that can connect and self-synchronizes voltage, frequency and phase of two or more power sources. The disclosed embodiments enable a modular power system to serve as the primary or secondary source of power for applications requiring loads from a few kilowatts (kW) to the scale of megawatts (MW). The modular system is generalized to use either a single or multiple power generation sources at once, with the ability to connect and self-synchronize voltage, frequency, and phase of a variety of different types of power sources. Power control systems designed to function with self-synchronizing technology enable a modular power system to satisfy a wide variety of needs, simplifying the existing method of achieving synchronization and enabling new features of resiliency and expandability. The self-synchronization can be implemented into a wide variety of electronics including but not limited to inverters and generator controllers.
