In-Home Power Distribution Systems by Circuit Switching and Power Packet Dispatching

Renewable, natural, and distributed power sources have been adopted in order to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. These new energy sources have fluctuations in the amount of output power, frequency, and voltage. Similar situation arises at the regulation of power flow in-home. Thus, suppression of the fluctuation is required for avoiding disturbance in power grid. In this paper, two types of in-home power distribution systems are proposed. One is a circuit switching system, and the other is a power packet dispatching system. The experiments show the possibilities of new power management.
