Power Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation of Self-Forming Nano-Grid (SFnG)

目前，许多加拿大公司都致力于开发小型家用纳米电网，可以灵活地并入电力公用事业，以增加加拿大电网获得光伏(PV)能源的机会。该项目旨在通过探索卡尔顿大学提供的自形成纳米电网(SFnG)的新能源管理算法来应对纳米电网发展的挑战。该SFnG是一种单相纳米电网系统，包含光伏单元、储能单元、各种负载和智能配电盘。该项目将利用RTDS Technologies Inc.生产的实时数字仿真器，通过对Carleton SFnG的实时Phil仿真来设计和测试所提出的能量管理算法。项目成果将有助于在客户端增加光伏和电池存储的使用。通过这项研究项目，还将实现对主电网的调峰、电力支持等有益的辅助服务。此外，通过该项目开发的解决方案将为RTDS的客户和商业合作伙伴提供开发和集成高性能纳米网格系统的能力。

Currently, many Canadian companies are committed to developing small household nano-grid that can beflexibly incorporated into power utilities to increase the Canadian grid's access to photovoltaic (PV) energy. This project is proposed to address the nano-grid development challenge by exploring new energy management algorithms of a self-forming nano-grid (SFnG) available at Carleton University. This SFnG is a single-phase nano-grid system containing PV units, energy storage units, a variety of loads, and intelligent distribution panel. The proposed project will utilize the real-time digital simulator produced by RTDS Technologies Inc. to design and test and the proposed energy manage algorithms through real-time PHIL simulation of the Carleton SFnG. The project results will contribute to increasing the use of PV and battery storage in at the customer side. The beneficial ancillary services such as peak shaving and power support to the main grid will also be achieved through this research project. Besides, the solutions developed through this project will provide the ability to the customers and the commercial partners of RTDS to develop and integrate high-performance nano-grid systems.
