Optimal Design and Configuration Strategy for the Physical Layer of Energy Router Based on the Complex Network Theory

The energy router (ER) is key to realizing the coordinated management and efficient utilization of multiple forms of energy in Energy Internet. This paper proposes a novel design and configuration method for the physical layer of ER by using complex network theory. Firstly, an abstract model of the physical layer of ER is introduced according to its function, and important modules in the model are illustrated in details. Secondly, based on the electrical characteristics of ports, the community structure of the power networks inside ER is analyzed by the improved Girvan-Newman (GN) algorithm to design the independent bus systems (IBSs) and generate the network topology of the physical layer. Then, the optimization model of equipment configuration of the power supply and distribution systems of ER is developed considering the economy, utilization efficiency, and power supply reliability. Finally, two case studies demonstrate that the proposed strategy can effectively accomplish the module-level structure design and device configuration for the physical layer of ER.
