High Voltage Power Electronics for Integrating Micro-Grids to Conventional Power Grid

1.提案摘要 简介：电力工程变得令人兴奋，因为分布式发电，可再生能源技术和存储技术（封装为微电网）将构成未来电网的很大一部分。 长期目标（15年）： 该建议是开发电力电子转换器接口（PECI），以将微电网集成到传统电网（以下简称为大电网）。每个电力电子转换器接口（佩西）位于微网和巨网之间，必须满足双方的要求。整合需要双方的专业知识。 短期目标（5年）： 在5页总结中，通过文献检索确定了短期目标。他们正在使用PECI执行以下3项任务： 1.停电后输电线路的快速恢复。 2.当大型电网失去“转子惯性”或“旋转储备”时，当蒸汽发电厂被可再生能源技术取代时，使用微电网中的能量存储来稳定频率。 3.使用燃气轮机发电机作为长期储备，电池存储将不足。 从过去的研究，申请人有知识，指导博士生在5年内完成任务。 目前困境 由于传统的专业分工，微电网吸引了来自电力电子学会和电气与电子工程研究所（IEEE）工业电子学会的研究人员。Mega-Grid吸引了来自IEEE电力系统协会和电力输送协会的研究人员。两人很少见面。 加拿大电力电子转换器接口（PECI）的好处是量身定制适合巨型电网和微型电网，将使加拿大在国际竞争中处于领先地位。HPQ将是该领域集成技术的第一家。将有新成立的公司在咨询，在软件，在固件，在控制电路-创造就业机会。这项研究将在工程科学中产生新的知识。将会有知识产权：专利因在该领域的首创而获得授予。 多学科专业知识的来源 根据Google Scholar，申请人的130篇期刊论文出现在（1）电力系统，（2）电力电子和（3）可再生能源技术。作为相关性指标，共收录引文6220篇，其中2010年以来收录引文3208篇。 根据Microsoft Academic：自1994年以来，他在（1）能源;（2）电气和电子工程;（3）工业工程方面有1107次引用。 更重要的是，他过去6年的研究涵盖了本资助申请所需的3个目标专业知识。

1. Summary of Proposal Introduction: Power engineering is become exciting because distributed generation, renewable energy technologies and storage technologies (packaged as Micro-Grids) will constitute a large proportion of the Future Grid. Long Term Objective (15 years): The proposal is to develop Power Electronic Converter Interfaces (PECIs) to integrate Micro-Grids to the Traditional Grid (referred hereafter as Mega-Grid). Placed between the Micro-Grid and the Mega-Grid, each Power Electronic Converter Interface (PECI) must mesh with the requirements of both sides. The integration requires expertise on both sides. Short Term Objectives (5 Years): The short term objectives have been identified from the literature search in the 5-page summary. They are in using the PECIs for the following 3 tasks: 1. Fast restoration of the transmission lines after a blackout. 2. Using energy storage in Micro-Grids to stabilize frequency when the Mega-Grid loses “rotor inertia” or “spinning reserve” when steam plants are replaced by renewable energy technologies. 3. Using Gas-Turbine Generators as long-duration reserve which battery storage will be insufficient. From past research, the applicant has the knowledge to guide PhD students to accomplish the tasks within 5 years. Present Predicament Because of traditional divisions of specialization, Micro-Grid draws researchers from the Power Electronics Society and the Industrial Electronics Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE). Mega-Grid draws researchers from the Power System Society and the Power Delivery Society of IEEE. The two seldom meet. Benefits to Canada Power Electronic Converter Interfaces (PECIs) which tailor-fit the Mega-Grid and Micro-Grids will put Canada ahead of international competition. HPQ will be first in the field on integration knowhow. There will be start-up companies in consultation, in software; in firmware; in control circuitry---creating employment. The research will yield new knowledge in engineering science. There will be intellectual properties: patents are granted for being first in the field. Source of Multidisciplinary Expertise According to Google Scholar, the applicant’s 130 journal papers appeared in (1) Power Systems, (2) Power Electronics and (3) Renewable Energy Technologies. As index of relevance, there are 6220 citations in all, with 3208 citations since 2010. According to Microsoft Academic: since 1994 he has 1107 citations in (1) Energy; (2) Electrical and Electronic Engineering; (3) Industrial Engineering. More important is the fact that his research of the past 6 years spans the 3 target expertise required by this grant application.
