CPC H02M 7/797 (2013.01) [G06F 1/3206 (2013.01)] | 27 Claims |
1. A method of operation for a microgrid for power by a number of power sources, the method comprising:
detecting one or more characteristic power features of first and second power sources of the number of power sources,
comparing the detected characteristic power features of the first and second power sources, including ranking the power sources according to power capacity of each power source,
determining an apportionment of power between the first and second power sources for communication to the load, and
connecting the number of power sources to provide power for output to the load based on the determined apportionment between the first and second power sources.
|
19. A microgrid control system for governing power output to a load from a number of power sources, comprising:
a control device configured to sense characteristic power features of the number of power sources, to compare characteristic power features of the number of power sources including ranking the power sources according to power capacity of each power source, to determine an apportionment of power between the number of power sources for communication to the load based on the sensed characteristic power features, and to provide instructions to selectively provide power for output to a load based on the determined apportionment, and
a DC link bus configured to selective connect one or more of the number of power sources for output to provide power to the load based on the instructions from the control device.
