Abstract

This paper proposes a reconfigurable power module system for hybrid micro-grid to reduce the designing cost with standardized software and hardware components. The developed system is composed of three layers including application function layer, interconnection layer and physical layer with the capability to be interfaced with different types of energy resources for the hybrid micro-grid. By implementing the multi-layer power module system, the energy conversion designing procedures for different types of resources can be generalized and automated with less cost on the specified application scenarios. The control functions for different energy resources can be extracted from the application function layer. The desired number of standardized power modules can be integrated from the physical layer to form different power converter topologies. The coordination of the power converter, micro-controller, sampling, high level control is managed by the interconnection layer to construct the complete energy conversion system. The major advantageous results cover three aspects. Firstly, the proposed reconfigurable system generalizes the energy conversion of the hybrid micro-grid with different AC and DC resources. Secondly, the designing procedures of the hybrid micro-grid energy conversion system are simplified with less cost for various interfaced applications. Thirdly, the energy conversion performance and reliability of the micro-grid is improved with standardized power modules and self-restoration capability. The experimental test verified the proposed system.
