Abstract

This paper describes the application of the Port Controlled Hamiltonian Network for Modelling and Control of non-linear power system dynamics. Goal of this work is to propose a methodology for system level design for power electronics driven electrical networks able to guarantee large signal stability. Starting from a model-level modular approach, the system is defined using the interconnection concept. The paper focuses on a DC micro-grid scenario where several converters interact with a lumped load. Contrary to previous work, the load is modelled as a Constant Power Load (CPL) introducing new challenges in terms of system stability.
