Adaptive intelligent controls for resilient integration of energy systems

Abstract

Local, autonomous rules for grid-forming inverter control are disclosed herein that maintain sufficient inverter capacity in the event of disruptions. The controls only rely on local measurements of frequency, voltage, real and reactive power, and real and reactive power set-points. Inverters using such controls do not need neighboring node or inverter measurements. Additionally, the control systems described herein apply local inverter parameters such as droop gains and inverter capacity. These local controls provide robustness to uncertainty in the measurements or to malicious data, and require very little computational power to obtain appropriate set points independent of topology or network parameters.
