Below are summaries of the agenda items for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's January 20, 2022 open meeting, pursuant to the sunshine notice released on January 13, 2022.

Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) will be increasingly utilized by residential customers due to their economic and environmental benefits. However, the intermittent power produced by PVs and the additional loads required for the PEV charging can cause power quality disturbances in the low voltage distribution networks (LVDN). An adaptable correlated control (ACC) is proposed for the decoupled optimization of the active and reactive power, where energy cost ca...

This paper proposes a multi-loop control structure for isolated multiport power converters (IMPCs), which includes a multi-loop load-disturbance attenuation controller (MLDAC) and also an improved multi-loop power-mismatch mitigation controller (MPMMC). The inherent capability of the IMPC to use a common magnetic link instead of multiple magnetic links offers an attractive solution to design a compact multi-module-based IMPC. With the proposed MLDAC, the IMPC can regulate the system voltage for ...

Dialog Semiconductor plc, a leading provider of battery management, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi(R) and Bluetooth(R) low energy and Industrial ICs, today announces the release of the DA914X-A product family of extremely efficient, high current, automotive grade, step down DC-DC (Buck) converters.

Abstract This paper presents a continuous control set model predictive control (MPC) based advanced switching sequence (SS) for the single-phase three-level grid connected neutral point clamp converters. The SSs are developed considering the tracking performance of the current feed to the utility grid, balancing the dc-bus capacitors voltages as well as the switching loss in the semiconductor devices. In the proposed strategy, the number of pole state change (SC) per control cycle is only 2, wh...

Electric E-1 – Electric Transmission Incentives Policy Under Section 219 of the Federal Power Act (Docket No. RM20-10-000). On March 20, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) relating to electric transmission incentives policy pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA). In the NOPR, the Commission furnished proposed revisions to transmission planning and cost allocation processes following significant developments in the sector, reflecting a potential new focus on re...
