If you have a question about this talk, please contact s.evangelou. Power systems are going through a paradigm change from centralised generation, to distributed generation, and further to smart grid. A large number of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, energy storage systems etc. are being connected to power systems. Moreover, various loads/consumers are being required to take part in the regulation of power systems and to improve energy efficiency. These make it impossible to manage power systems in the way that has been (is being) done, simply because of the huge number of players in the system. A power system will eventually need to be operated completely autonomously, with minimum human interference. A significant advantage of this is that the communication and information layer of smart grid can be released from low-level control, which improves system reliability and performance. In this talk, the architecture of Completely Autonomous Power Systems (CAPS) is presented and a technical route based on the synchronverter technology is demonstrated. As a result, the majority of generators and loads in a power system will be governed by the same synchronisation mechanism of conventional synchronous generators and all will be able to work together autonomously as equal partners to maintain system stability.
