Computing an operating parameter of a unified power flow controller
| DWPI Title: Method for computing an operating parameter of a unified power flow controller, involves computing operating parameter of the unified power flow controller based upon the swine equations |
| Abstract: A Unified Power Flow Controller described herein comprises a sensor that outputs at least one sensed condition, a processor that receives the at least one sensed condition, a memory that comprises control logic that is executable by the processor; and power electronics that comprise power storage, wherein the processor causes the power electronics to selectively cause the power storage to act as one of a power generator or a load based at least in part upon the at least one sensed condition output by the sensor and the control logic, and wherein at least one operating parameter of the power electronics is designed to facilitate maximal transmittal of electrical power generated at a variable power generation system to a grid system while meeting power constraints set forth by the electrical power grid. |
| Use: Method for computing an operating parameter of a unified power flow controller. |
| Advantage: The operating parameter of the unified power flow controller is computed based upon the swine equations, thus facilitates optimal provision of electric power generated by the variable power generation system to the existing power grid, also enables maximum power output of the variable power generation system, and thus facilitates determining needed performance of optimal power output of variable power generation system. |
| Novelty: The method involves receiving power constraints for an existing power grid (104) that receives power generated from a variable power generation system (102) in accordance with the power constraints. The operating parameter of a unified power flow controller (106) is computed by the variable power generation system. The operating parameter of the unified power flow controller is computed based upon the swine equations. |
