A microgrid is a small power system composed of distributed generation sources, energy storage, loads, energy conversion devices, and protection equipment. To provide an intelligent and stable interface between microgrids and distribution networks, thereby forming a reliable interconnected system, the energy router (ER) was developed.
Besides the utilization of renewable energy resources, the smart grid is meanwhile an overall upgrade of the legacy electric power systems in energy management . In traditional power systems, energy ows unidirectionally from the power plants to the customers, characterized by centralized power generation and one-way energy transmis-sion.
2 GridBlock Energy Router manages the flow of energy between multiple sources and loads simultaneously and provides autonomous microgrid protection. This microgrid-in-a-box simplifies integration of solar PV, energy storage and EV fleet charging with new tools to improve grid resiliency. Smart infrastructure. Simplified.
In the future smart grid, energy router will be a fundamental and indispensible equipment to support the smart energy management. We have discussed in this paper the functional expectations on the energy router design in relation to the energy router usages in the grid under various operational scenarios.
