Abstract
Controlling power flow and achieving appropriate matching between power sources and loads according to the quality of energy is expected to be one of the approaches to reduce wasted energy consumption. A power router, proposed recently, has the capability of realizing circuit switching in a power distribution network. This study focuses on the feasibility of an AC power routing network system composed of multiple power routers. To evaluate the feasibility, we experimentally confirm the circuit switching operation of the parallel and series configurations of the power routers, so that the network system can be designed by the combination of parallel and series configurations.
Highlights
Today, many types of distributed renewable sources, such as photovoltaic generation and wind power generation, have been installed in homes and communities
In 1998, Toyoda et al proposed the concept of an open-electric-energy-network (OEEN) where power flow is controlled by multiple electric-energy-routers [1]
In order to design a system that has the capability of achieving appropriate matching between sources and loads from a viewpoint of the quality of energy, a path control of power flow on the power distribution network has been investigated as a power routing system that prevents the mixing of powers from different power sources [3,4,5,6]

This type of system is able to realize the concept of OEEN [1].
