Research on control strategy and dynamic test of multi-port electric energy router

Abstract

Researching an electric energy router and analyzing the control and operation characteristics are of significant importance for bi-high power system. In this study, a multi-modal two-level coordinated control strategy of multi-port electric energy router is proposed to achieve fast and flexible regulation of power flow. a prototype of multi-port energy router is trial-produced with an energy storage system, a sending-end power grid and a receiving-end power grid. Furthermore, a comprehensive dynamic test for the prototype of multi-port energy router is completed. The results show that the dynamic performance of the multi-port energy router in power step test is found to conform to the test standard. The charging and discharging modes of the energy storage unit under multi-modal control strategy are switched correctly. During the energy exchange process, multi-port AC/DC voltage operates stably. It can be applied to multi-port, multi-cascade, multi-flow distribution network.
