Abstract
A computer system for grid-forming control detects a change of a first magnitude in power delivered at a point of interconnection with an alternating current electric grid. The computer system then generates a non-linear change in frequency at the point of interconnection with the alternating current electric grid. Generating the non-linear change in frequency causes a grid interfacing device to compensate in a non-linear manner for a power imbalance on the alternating current electric grid.
Claims20
A grid-forming control method comprising:
- detecting a change of a first magnitude in power delivered at a point of interconnection with an alternating current electric grid;
- and
- generating a non-linear change in frequency at the point of interconnection with the alternating current electric grid,
- wherein generating the non-linear change in frequency causes a grid interfacing device to compensate in a non-linear manner for a power imbalance on the alternating current electric grid.
A computer system for grid-forming control comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the computer system to perform:
- detect a change of a first magnitude in power delivered at a point of interconnection with an alternating current electric grid;
- and
- generate a non-linear change in frequency at the point of interconnection with the alternating current electric grid,
- wherein generating the non-linear change in frequency causes a grid interfacing device to compensate in a non-linear manner for a power imbalance on the alternating current electric grid.
