FREEDM Software Controller Architecture for a Solid State Transformer

چکیده
The Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) project aims at providing an efficient electric power grid integrating alternative generating sources and storage with existing power systems to facilitate a green energy in a highly distributed and scalable manner. One of the central aspects of the Reliable and Secure Communication (RSC) subthrust within the FREEDM system is the framework that controls the Distributed Renewable Energy Resource / Distributed Energy Storage Device (DRER/DESD) loads at 120 V and the 12 KV distribution bus. The hardware component that governs power along this bus is the Solid State Transformer (SST) controller. The objective of this paper is to introduce the computational design and describe the software architecture of the SST controller board. This paper details the status of the current software development and discusses future work in this realm.
