Fast and Robust Energy Router Control in Dynamic Conditions Using Flatness-Based Control Theory

In this paper, flatness-based control theory is developed to enhance the dynamic performance of a multiport energy router. The energy router integrates multiple power sources and sinks, including photovoltaic systems, battery storage, the grid, and various loads. Consequently, any sudden change in a subsystem can induce dynamic conditions across the entire system. The presented method controls the grid-side inverter and regulates the de link voltage. To implement this control approach, the system equations have been established, and it has been demonstrated that the system is differentially flat. Afterward, the controller design has been addressed. The simulation results confirm the proper performance of this method, and the comparisons made validate the high speed and accuracy of the system responses compared to conventional solutions.
