A novel architecture for power networks with distributed generation - concept outline
conference contribution
posted on 2009-09-23, 11:56 authored by William G. Garlick, Argyrios C. Zolotas, David InfieldProviding a secure power network is already a complex task but as network
complexity grows with each new distributed generation connection so the problem of
assurance for the next source connection becomes more and more protracted. A
fundamental change to the network architecture may be necessary and an architecture
based on cells containing both generation and loads has been proposed by some
researchers. This paper proposes a novel power cell interface, replacing the
conventional power transformer with an “active transformer” in order to provide a
controllable, flexible and robust connection that will facilitate greater network
management and business opportunities and new power flow control features.
