Abstract
Systems, methods, techniques, and apparatuses of a medium voltage alternating current (MVAC) network are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a direct current (DC) interconnection system for an MVAC distribution network including an AC/AC power converter including a first AC terminal and a second AC terminal; a plurality of switching devices structured to selectively couple a first AC terminal to a plurality of feeder line points in the MVAC network; and a control system structured to receive a set of measurements, calculate a headroom value for each feeder line point using the set of measurements, select a first feeder line point using the calculated headroom values, operate the plurality of switching devices so as to couple the first AC terminal to the first feeder line point, and operate the AC/AC power converter so as to transmit MVAC power from the first AC terminal to the first feeder line point.
