Efficient management strategy of the power converters connected to the DC bus in a hybrid microgrid of Distributed Generation

A Flexible Power Crossbar-based Architecture for Software-Defined Power Domains

“…1.a respectively), N sw EP is always equal to 3. In the proposed DCMG architecture, assuming identical crossbar instances, N sw EP is calculated with the following formula (1):…”

“…Energy transition and design of sustainable energy systems will require incremental yet profound longterm structural changes in energy production, storage and delivery. Besides the obvious expected role of renewable energies as sources, one prominent challenge lies in finding solutions capable of supporting the required gradual changes to power grids, from centralized generation towards distributed, heterogeneous and hybrid systems [1]. Smart grids and much of the work conducted in that area are meant to mature a portfolio of technologies enabling the advent of resilient self-regulated multi-scale power infrastructures capable of optimizing the overall efficiency and lifting dependence on fossil fuel energies.…”
