CONTROLLING GRID COMPONENTS OF AN ELECTRIC POWER GRID

Abstract: a method, apparatus, and system for controlling grid components of an electric power grid are disclosed. each grid component is configured to consume power from and/or provide power to the electric power grid according to a respective predefined function that takes received electric power flow characteristic values as an input. the method comprises obtaining values of a characteristic of electric power flow in the electric power grid; altering the obtained values to generate altered electric power flow characteristic values by inputting the obtained values to a mapping function that maps the predefined function onto a controller function; and transmitting the altered electric power flow characteristic values to the grid components to control the grid components to consume power from and/or provide power to the electric power grid according to the controller function. also disclosed is a method and apparatus for providing altered electric power flow characteristic values.
