Abstract:
The electric power system is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. A major transition is the replacement of bulk generation based on synchronous machines by renewable generation interfaced via power electronics. The loss of synchronous machines poses a great challenge because today’s power system operation heavily relies on their self-synchronizing dynamics, rotational inertia, and resilient controls. The robust operation of such a low-inertia system based on power electronics is currently regarded as the ultimate bottleneck to massively integrating renewables. As a possible remedy, numerous approaches aim at emulating so-called virtual inertia or other characteristics of synchronous machines. In this talk we investigate “how” virtual inertia can be emulated, and “what else” can be done other than naively emulating synchronous machines. We will discuss a novel and foundational control approach based on self-synchronizng coupled oscillators and report some theoretic results as well as experimental validations.
Brief bio:
Florian Dörfler is an Assistant Professor at the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zürich. He received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2013, and a Diplom degree in Engineering Cybernetics from the University of Stuttgart in 2008. From 2013 to 2014 he was an Assistant Professor at the University of California Los Angeles. His primary research interests are centered around distributed control, complex networks, and cyber–physical systems currently with applications in energy systems and smart grids. His students were winners or finalists for Best Student Paper awards at the 2013 European Control Conference, the 2016 American Control Conference, and the 2017 PES PowerTech Conference. His articles and theses received the 2010 ACC Student Best Paper Award, the 2011 O. Hugo Schuck Best Paper Award, the 2012-2014 Automatica Best Paper Award, the 2015 UCSB ME Best PhD award, and the 2016 IEEE Circuits and Systems Guillemin-Cauer Best Paper Award.
