Electronic Components and Systems for flexible, coordinated and resilient Distributed Renewable Energy Systems

In this project, the researchers will investigate how energy hubs with grid-forming battery storage systems can play a more active role in ensuring a reliable and high-quality energy flow into the electrical grid. They will specifically look at the battery system – how big it needs to be and what methods and technologies are needed to adjust energy flow in a way that is optimal for the grid. TU Delft researchers will investigate the multiplexing architecture of the wireless power transfer-based charging infrastructure. Multiplexing is a concept that allows the sharing of part of a power electronics charging infrastructure by many charging points. Multiplexing based on the DC link and the high-frequency AC link will be benchmarked based on the system reliability, resource consumption, flexibility, and charging efficiency to choose the optimal solution. Requirements and specifications for the power electronics converters for multiplexing will be defined. TU Delft researchers will also define the requirements and specifications of the grid-forming battery energy storage system, which can reduce the peak power taken from the grid by the wireless charger, stabilize the energy hub, and ensure its power quality.
