Distributed Autonomous Control System of the Smart Grid Based on the Turing Pattern Model

Renewable energy resources, which are generally unstable, affect the performance of electricity grids when they are fully connected. A distributed energy supply network system is expected to compensate for the anticipated performance problems. We have constructed a distributed autonomous system that controls batteries installed in each house. In this system, even if central control does not exist, electrical charging and discharging of the batteries are carried out for self-organization. As a result, the grid stability is maintained in the local urban district. Our system is based on the Turing pattern model. (c) 2013 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
