Abstract

See full text

Distributed grid intelligence can enable a modular power grid. Multiple consumer nodes are coupled to a same point of common coupling (PCC). Local power sources are coupled to the PCC. None of the power sources has sufficient generation capacity alone to meet peak demand of the multiple consumer nodes of the grid segment. The grid segment includes multiple control nodes to control distribution of power from the power sources to the multiple consumer nodes based on power demand from the multiple consumer nodes and based on operation of the other power sources. Thus, consumer nodes can share power generated locally, but operate independently without the need for central management or a central power plant, and different independent segments can be coupled to each other to expand the grid network.
