ME 461/561 Nonlinear power flow control design Course description As renewable resources, primarily wind and solar photovoltaics,

increase their footprint in the overall electricity generation mix, it becomes more difficult to match generation to the load. Given unlimited resources, enough generation and storage could be placed at various locations to guarantee availability of power when needed. However, doing this would be both uneconomic and wasteful. A better way is to use available information to coordinate generation and load so that they are matched in time, to the extent possible. We then use storage to deal with the fraction and load that cannot be coordinated. However, this is not the end of the problem we still have to choose the type of storage we want to use, among many possibilities: batteries, flywheels, capacitors, thermal mass to name a few. o do this, we need a unified framewor! that allows us to systematically measure power flow, design controls, and determine the specifications of the storage devices needed to maintain system stability and power "uality. #n this course, we will first describe a measure that provides a description of energy in a complete way, not only in terms of "uantity $i.e. first%law description& but also of "uality $a second%law description&. his measure is exergy, or the amount of energy that can be converted to mechanical wor!. hen, based on this definition, we will show how exergy can be used to write e"uations that describe the dynamics of the system in terms of a Hamiltonian. his will then form the basis for determining system stability, designing controllers, and determining the specifications of storage devices. hroughout the course, we will build on a specific example, based on a real system, which combines both electrical and thermal devices. 'y the end of the course, we will have designed and simulated the controls needed to both guarantee stability and minimi(e investment in storage for our example.
