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

1.建议书摘要 引言：电力工程之所以令人振奋，是因为分布式发电、可再生能源技术和存储技术(封装为微电网)将在未来电网中占据很大比例。 长期目标(15年)： 建议开发电力电子转换器接口(PECIS)，将微电网与传统电网(以下简称巨型电网)相结合。每个电力电子转换器接口(PECI)位于微电网和巨电网之间，必须满足双方的要求。这种整合需要双方都具备专业知识。 短期目标(5年)： 在5页的总结中，从文献搜索中确定了短期目标。他们正在使用Pecis完成以下3项任务： 1.停电后输电线路快速恢复。 2.当蒸汽发电厂被可再生能源技术取代时，当巨型电网失去“转子惯性”或“旋转储备”时，利用微电网中的储能来稳定频率。 3.使用燃气轮发电机作为电池储能不足的长期备用。 从过去的研究来看，申请人具备指导博士生在5年内完成任务的知识。 当前困境 由于传统的专业分工，微电网吸引了电力电子学会和电气电子工程研究所(IEEE)工业电子学会的研究人员。巨型电网吸引了来自IEEE电力系统协会和电力输送协会的研究人员。这两个人很少见面。 加拿大电力电子转换器接口(PECIS)的好处，它量身定做的巨型电网和微电网将使加拿大在国际竞争中处于领先地位。惠普将成为该领域集成技术的第一家公司。将会有初创公司在咨询、软件、固件、控制电路领域-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：专利被授予在该领域是第一的。 多学科专业知识的来源 根据谷歌学者的说法，申请者的130篇期刊论文出现在(1)电力系统，(2)电力电子和(3)可再生能源技术上。作为相关性索引，共被引用6220条，自2010年以来被引用3208条。 根据微软学者的说法：自1994年以来，他在(1)能源；(2)电气和电子工程；(3)工业工程方面被引用了1107篇。 更重要的是，他过去6年的研究跨越了这项拨款申请所需的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.
