A nano-grid is a very small scale power distribution system that contains an energy management and power converter system for a set of distributed loads and resources. A smart nano-grid can be as small as a few photovoltaic panels or battery energy storage systems supplying small loads, or as large as a few residential or commercial buildings. This research is focused on the design, modeling and development of distributed high power density converter topologies, architectures, control systems, and energy management strategies specifically suitable for nanogrid applications. The proposed concepts and prototypes will be experimentally tested for real life conditions and industrial codes and regulations using our CFI funded labs to develop industrial level energy system topologies and control solutions for smart nano-grid systems. One of the research program objectives is to design novel smart topologies and configurations such that the nanogrid becomes a modular and plug-and-play system facilitating a gradual expansion of the system proportional to the need and affordability. Novel distributed configurations will be explored to interconnect modular power converters for renewable energy resources, energy storage, distributed loads and grid. System configuration as well as novel distributed control systems ensure seamless operations in stand alone, grid connected, parallel or grid forming modes. Aggregated modeling of distributed converters and control systems will be derived to guarantee system level stability and optimum energy management with minimum communication bandwidth, so that the nanogrid have minimum dependency on the technical staff to construct, expand, and maintain. Such modular renewable nanogrids are specifically beneficial to people with limited budgets or remote and northern First Nations communities. Unlike existing renewable DG systems, the use of this technology in large scale residential applications would also contribute to the support of the grid. Such optimized nanogrid energy solutions will improve overall efficiency, cost, size, reliability, enabling lower carbon emissions, and smarter storage, use of, or production of, energy. The proposed research program will help Canada achieve these goals and contribute to the government's objectives of accelerating the creation of sustainable energy solutions and making Canada a market leader in efficient renewable nanogrids and power electronics based energy system solutions.

纳米网格是一个非常小的扩展功率分配系统，其中包含用于一组分布式负载和资源的能源管理和电源转换器系统。智能的纳米网格可以很小，只需几个光伏面板或电池储能系统提供少量负载，或者与几个住宅或商业建筑一样大。这项研究的重点是分布式高功率密度转换器拓扑，体系结构，控制系统和能源管理策略的设计，建模和开发，特别适合纳米粒应用。提出的概念和原型将通过我们的CFI资助的实验室对现实生活条件以及工业法规和法规进行实验测试，以开发用于智能纳米网格系统的工业水平能源系统拓扑和控制解决方案。 研究计划的目标之一是设计新颖的智能拓扑和配置，以使纳米粒成为模块化和插件的系统，以促进与需求和可负担性成正比的系统逐渐扩展。新颖的分布式配置将探索到可再生能源，储能，分布式负载和网格的互连模块化转换器。系统配置以及新颖的分布式控制系统可确保单独连接，平行或网格形成模式的独立无缝操作。将得出分布式转换器和控制系统的汇总建模，以确保具有最低通信带宽的系统级别稳定性和最佳能源管理，以便纳米格里德对技术人员的构建，扩展和维护的技术人员最少。 这种模块化可再生的纳米醇对预算有限或偏远和北部原住民社区的人特别有益。与现有的可再生DG系统不同，该技术在大规模的住宅应用中的使用也将有助于网格的支持。这种优化的纳米醇能源解决方案将提高整体效率，成本，尺寸，可靠性，能够降低碳排放以及能量的更明智的存储，使用或生产。拟议的研究计划将有助于加拿大实现这些目标，并为政府加速创建可持续能源解决方案的目标做出贡献，并使加拿大成为有效的可再生纳米醇和基于电力电子的能源系统解决方案的市场领导者。
