AMP-STOR: Advanced module-level power electronics with battery STORage******

AMP-STOR提议验证由Alpha Technologies Canada与uOttawa SUNLAB合作开发的创新可调度存储太阳能技术架构的关键方面。新架构包括一种将太阳能光伏与现有存储技术相结合的创新方式。它通过减少太阳能电池板串失配损耗来提高效率，克服安装限制（如遮阳），并通过串拉伸优化设备利用率并降低安装成本。此外，新架构通过远程动态控制能力提高了对用户需求的适应性，在分布式系统元素（包括太阳能模块、模块级电力电子设备、电池存储和最终转换器）中定制用户指定的操作优化标准，以提供最有效的电力收集和电池充电，以及最长的电池寿命。****渥太华SUNLab拥有先进控制系统的专业知识和测试能力，适合这项研究挑战（特别是在标准化智能分布式电网边缘电源管理系统领域，以及太阳能光伏板物理和电力管理领域）。****这种新的可扩展可重构架构将增加住宅和商业市场对清洁可再生能源的需求，包括偏远的工业场所、偏远的社区、城市屋顶太阳能、电网互动和离网应用，从而降低正在进行的化石燃料成本、污染和温室气体排放，从而改善公共健康、就业和环境。以及提供更多的电力收获，从而提高投资回报。**********

AMP-STOR proposes to verify critical aspects of an innovative dispatchable stored solar energy technology architecture which is being developed by Alpha Technologies Canada, collaborating with uOttawa SUNLAB. The new architecture includes an innovative way to combine solar PV with existing storage technology. It improves efficiency by mitigating solar panel string mismatch losses, overcomes installation limitations such as shading, and optimizes equipment utilization and reduced installation costs using string stretching. In addition, the new architecture improves fit to user needs through remote dynamic control capability, tailoring user-specified operating optimization criteria across distributed system elements including solar modules, module-level power electronics, battery storage, and final converters to provide the most efficient power harvest and battery recharging, and longest battery life.****uOttawa SUNLab has expertise and test capability in advanced control systems that is appropriate to this research challenge (specifically, in the areas of standardized intelligent distributed grid-edge power management systems, and also in solar PV panel physics and electrical power management).****This new scalable reconfigurable architecture will grow demand for clean renewable energy in residential and commercial markets, including remote industrial sites, remote communities, urban rooftop solar, and grid interactive as well as off-grid applications, thereby mitigating ongoing fossil fuel costs, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions, and so improving public health, employment, and the environment, as well as providing increased power harvest and thus improved investment returns.**********
