METHODS FOR MANAGING THE CONNECTION OF ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCE TO EXISTING GRID

Decentralization of electricity production is one of the most effective strategies to improve the reliability of energy supply systems. Nowadays, the most common energy model is one where the end user combines both consumption and production of energy using alternative sources. This raises a number of technical issues related to automatic generation control, assessment of the quality of energy from various sources, and robust switching of these sources. Existing methods of switching are designed for a single point of connection of all sources to the switching system, which significantly complicates the connection of new sources and the creation of a distributed power generation system. In order to improve the existing schemes, we propose a model that allows distributed connection of power sources to the grid at many switching points, ensures their synchronization and monitoring of the energy quality from each source.
