An Active AC Grid to DC Microgrid Interface Using a Bidirectional Bridgeless Flyback Converter
Author(s): Pablo J. Quintana-Barcia, Jorge Garcia, Manuel Rico-Secades and Emilio L. Corominas
The usage of power electronics in power systems is one of the key techniques for boosting the development of microgrids. Particularly, in the case of public lighting systems, power electronics converters are applied to both the LED driving stage and the grid interfacing stage. From the point of view of the grid, the latter stage usually behaves as a high power factor (PF) load. However, recent trends in these systems imply a manifold of different storage and renewable energy microgeneration units connected to the DC bus of each street lamp. All together are usually known as lighting smartgrids. The present work aims for keeping the DC bus stable, injecting or extracting energy whereas maintaining high PF with respect to the AC grid. This idea is performed by... view more»
