Reconfigurable Power Converters with Increased Utilization for Unbalanced Power Distribution System Applications

no code implementations6 Feb 2024 Matthew Deakin, Xu Deng

Results show that conventional converters need up to 75. 3% greater capacity to yield a capability chart of equivalent size to an idealised reconfigurable converter.

Smart Energy Network Digital Twins: Findings from a UK-Based Demonstrator Project

1 code implementation20 Nov 2023 Matthew Deakin, Marta Vanin, Zhong Fan, Dirk Van Hertem

Power meter data and a network model are shown to be necessary for developing algorithms that enable decision-making that is robust to real-world uncertainties, with possibilities and challenges of Digital Twin development clearly demonstrated.

Demonstrating Almost Linear Time Complexity of Bus Admittance Matrix-Based Distribution Network Power Flow: An Empirical Approach

no code implementations20 Nov 2023 Matthew Deakin, Davis Montenegro

The bus admittance matrix is central to many power system simulation algorithms, but the link between problem size and computation time (i. e., the time complexity) using modern sparse solvers is not fully understood.

Defining and Constraining the Electrical Cardinality of Multiport Converter Mission Profiles

no code implementations29 Aug 2023 Matthew Deakin

Mission profiles describe a representative set of conditions that a power converter is designed to operate under, and are known to be more complicated for multiport converter applications due to a wider range of combinations of powers that can be transferred between ports.

Multiplexing Power Converters for Cost-Effective and Flexible Soft Open Points

no code implementations25 Apr 2023 Matthew Deakin

The feasible set of real powers that can be transferred by a three-terminal Soft Open Point (SOP) can be increased by selecting non-uniform power ratings for each of the three ac/dc legs of the SOP, then connecting a multi-terminal switch (multiplexer) to the ac side of each of those converters to facilitate reconfiguration.

Optimal Hybrid Multiplexed AC-DC-AC converters

no code implementations10 Oct 2022 Matthew Deakin

In this work, it is proposed that the area of these capability charts is a meaningful metric for describing the flexibility of such a device.

Design and Operation of Hybrid Multi-Terminal Soft Open Points using Feeder Selector Switches for Flexible Distribution System Interconnection

no code implementations15 Jan 2022 Matthew Deakin, Phil C. Taylor, Janusz Bialek, Wenlong Ming

Distribution systems will require new cost-effective solutions to provide network capacity and increased flexibility to accommodate Low Carbon Technologies.

Hybrid Open Points: an Efficient Tool for Increasing Network Capacity in Distribution Systems

no code implementations17 Sep 2021 Matthew Deakin, Ilias Sarantakos, David M. Greenwood, Janusz Bialek, Phil C. Taylor, Wenlong Ming, Charalampos Patsios

This letter introduces the Hybrid Open Point (HOP), a device consisting of an electromechanical switch connected in parallel with a power converter, for the purpose of providing additional network capacity in interconnected distribution systems.
