Description

BACKGROUND

Three phase transmission is generally the most efficient method for distributing alternating current from electrical power sources to electrical loads (also referred to as electrical sinks). Electrical power transmission is typically accomplished via an electrical power grid (the “grid”). In three phase transmission, each phase is transmitted onto the grid at a precise time. Without the phase synchronization, reliability of the electrical power transmission network or grid cannot be maintained because the power supplied from each of the electrical power sources causes spikes and dips in the current on the network. To this end, electrical power sources typically operate in the standby mode to synchronize their electrical phases to the electrical power transmission network. The electrical power from an individual electrical power source is generally connected to the network based on an operator command to ensure that the electrical power on the network is in phase. Before the connection, the electrical power produced while adjusting frequency, phase, and voltage and during stabilization, is typically lost.

Electrical power sources are becoming more numerous due to the increase in renewable power sources (e.g., solar, thermal, etc.) and/or smaller power sources (e.g., natural gas generator, diesel generator, etc.). These energy sources must be synchronized and safely/efficiently applied to the network. Thus, there is a need in the art for an improved system, apparatus, and method for electrical phase synchronization.

SUMMARY

One approach is a system that provides electrical phase synchronization. The system includes an electrical power transmission network having a plurality of transmission lines and a plurality of electrical power generation devices. Each electrical power generation device includes an electrical power source configured to supply electrical power to the electrical power transmission network via one or more of the plurality of transmission lines and a control unit configured to phase synchronize the electrical power supply from the electrical power source with an input location on the electrical power transmission network based on a geographic location of the electrical power generation device, a geographic location of the input location on the electrical power transmission network, time synchronization data, and electrical phase configuration data for the input location.

Another approach is a method for providing electrical phase synchronization. The method includes determining a transmission line distance for an electrical power supply between a geographic location of the electrical power supply and a geographic location of an input location on a electrical power transmission network; determining an electrical phase for the electrical power supply based on the transmission line distance, time synchronization data, and electrical phase configuration data for the input location; and phase synchronizing the electrical power supply based on the electrical phase for transmission to the input location on the electrical power transmission network.

Another approach is a control unit that provides electrical phase synchronization. The control unit includes a geographic determination module configured to determine a transmission line distance for an electrical power supply between a geographic location of an electrical power source and a geographic location of an input location on an electrical power transmission network; an electrical power determination module configured to determine an electrical phase for the electrical power supply based on the transmission line distance, time synchronization data, and electrical phase configuration data for the input location; and an electrical power supply synchronization device configured to phase synchronize the electrical power supply based on the electrical phase and transmit the phase synchronized electrical power supply to the electrical power transmission network.

Any of the approaches described herein can include one or more of the following examples.

In some examples, each electrical power generation device is configured to independently and autonomously supply phase synchronized electrical power to the electrical power transmission network. In other examples, the electrical power supplied to the electrical power transmission network by each electrical power generation device is phase synchronized within an electrical phase tolerance range.

In some examples, each control unit is further configured to determine at least one of frequency, voltage, current, phase, and duration for the electrical power supply from the electrical power source based on the geographic location of the electrical power generation device. In other examples, each control unit is further configured to phase synchronize at least one of the determined frequency, voltage, current, phase, and duration of the electrical power supply from the electrical power source with the input location on the electrical power transmission network.

In some examples, each control unit is further configured to determine an electrical phase for the supply of electrical power from the electrical power source based on a geographic distance between the geographic location of the electrical power generation device and the geographic synchronization location on the electrical power transmission network. In other examples, each electrical power generation device further includes a communication module configured to receive the geographic location of the electrical power generation device and the time synchronization data from a timing device.

In some examples, each electrical power generation device further includes an alert module configured to generate an alert based on at least one of a change in the geographic location of the electric power generation device, maintenance information, and supply information.

In other examples, the method includes determining at least one of frequency, voltage, current, phase, and duration for the electrical power supply based on the geographic location of the electrical power supply. In some examples, the method includes phase synchronizing the electrical power supply based on at least one of the determined frequency, voltage, current, phase, and duration.

In other examples, the electrical phase configuration data for the input location is pre-defined. In some examples, the method includes dynamically receiving the electrical phase configuration data for the input location.

In other examples, the method includes determining the geographic location of the electrical power supply based on data received from a global positioning system. In some examples, the method includes receiving the time synchronization data from a timing device.

In other examples, the control unit includes a geographic positioning module configured to determine the geographic location of the electrical power supply. In some examples, the electrical power determination module is further configured to determine at least one of frequency, voltage, current, and duration for the electrical power supply based on the geographic location of the electrical power supply.

In other examples, the electrical power supply synchronization device is further configured to phase synchronize the electrical power supply based on at least one of the determined frequency, voltage, current, and duration.

The electrical phase synchronization technology described herein can provide one or more of the following advantages. An advantage to the technology is that a plurality of power generation devices can be connected to an electrical power transmission network without requiring a centralized electrical phase synchronization device (e.g., master power generation device, centralized power generation controller, etc.), thereby decreasing the electrical energy wasted during the phase synchronization phase. Another advantage to the technology is that a plurality of power generation devices can be connected and disconnected to an electrical power transmission network without regard to the identity or knowledge of any centralized electrical phase synchronization device, thereby enabling a power generation device to quickly and efficiently connect to the electrical power transmission network.

Another advantage to the technology is that the plurality of power generation devices can be located and/or moved throughout the electrical power generation network and phase synchronized based on geographic location, thereby increasing the effective useful applications and mobility of the power generation devices. Another advantage to the technology is that the plurality of power generation devices are electrically phase synchronized based on geographic locations and a timing source, thereby decreasing the reliance on a single point of failure and reducing the potential for failure in the electrical power transmission network.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The electrical phase synchronization technology described herein enables phase synchronization of electrical power generation sources (e.g., fossil fuel power plant, renewable energy power capture plant, etc.) by utilizing geographic location information (e.g., global positioning system information, radio triangulation information, etc.), time information (e.g., network time information, atomic time information, etc.), and phase synchronization information (e.g., pre-defined phase information, dynamically received phase information, etc.). Each electrical power generation source can independently and autonomously supply phase synchronized electrical power to an electrical power transmission network (also referred to as the electrical grid) based on the geographic location information, the time information, and the phase synchronization information. The electrical power supplied from each of the electrical power generation sources is phase synchronized to ensure that the delivery of power onto the electrical power transmission network is uniform.

The technology enables the integration of the proper phase, frequency, and voltage power to the electrical power transmission network (e.g., within an electrical phase tolerance range), thereby advantageously increasing the efficiency of the network and meeting the safety interlocks of the network (e.g., the electrical phase of the incoming electrical power matches the electrical phase of the electrical power on the network, etc.). The technology can utilize a timing device (e.g., an accurate clock, a navigation satellite, etc.) to phase synchronize the electrical power supply to a regional grid, a country grid, a continental grid, an ad hoc grid, an intentional island grid, and/or non-intentional island grid. For each of these grids, the technology standardizes the electrical phase to ensure that the electrical power transmission network is synchronized and does not destroy or damage any of the electrical generating and/or consuming devices connected to the network.

FIG. 1 is a diagram of an exemplary electrical power transmission environment 100. The environment 100 includes an electrical power transmission network 110 and a plurality of power generation devices A (120a), B (120b), C (120c), D (120d), E (120e), and F (120f) (generally referred to as power generation devices 120). Each of the power generation devices 120 supply electrical power (e.g., two phase alternating current, three phase alternating current, etc.) to the electrical power transmission network 110 via a plurality of transmission lines 112. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the environment 100 includes a plurality of input locations A (114a) and B (114b). The input locations A 114a and B 114b are utilized as geographic locations for the supply of electrical power onto the electrical power transmission network 110 (e.g., pre-defined geographic location, dynamically defined geographic location, etc.). The electrical power supplied to the electrical power transmission network 110 is used by electrical power sinks (not shown) (e.g., electrical devices in a residential subdivision, electrical devices in a factory, electrical devices in an office building, etc).

Although FIG. 1 illustrates the power generation devices 120, the environment 100 can include any number of power generation devices forty, one hundred, two hundred, etc.). Although FIG. 1 illustrates two input locations A 114a and B 114b, the environment 100 can include any number of input locations (e.g., ten, twenty, one hundred, etc.).

FIG. 2 is a diagram of another exemplary electrical power transmission environment 200. The environment 200 includes an electrical power transmission network 210 and power generation devices A (220a) and F (220f). The power generation devices A 220a and F 220f supply electrical power to the electrical power transmission network 210 via a plurality of transmission lines 212. Each transmission line 212 has a defined distance: transmission line distances A 216a, B 216b, and C 216c. For example, the distance of each transmission line 212 is defined at the time of installation of the transmission line 212 and/or defined after installation of the transmission line 212. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the environment 100 includes an input location A 214a. The input location A 214a is utilized as geographic locations for the supply of electrical power onto the electrical power transmission network 210. The electrical power supplied to the electrical power transmission network 210 is used by electrical power sinks (not shown).

As an exemplary mode of operation, each power generation device A 220a or F 220f determines a transmission line distance between the power generation device A 220a or F 220f and the input location A 214a. The power generation device A 220a determines a transmission line distance between the power generation device A 220a and the input location A 214a (e.g., physical distance that the electrical power travels via the transmission lines 212 in the electrical power transmission network 210, etc.). In this example, the transmission line distance is the transmission line distance A 216a plus the transmission line distance B 216b. The power generation device A 220a determines an electrical phase for the supply of electrical power (e.g., transmit at 0 degrees, transmit at 120 degrees, etc.) based on the transmission line distance, time synchronization data (e.g., network time clock, atomic clock, etc.), and electrical phase configuration data for the input location (e.g., pre-defined data, dynamically received data, etc.).

For example, the power generation device A 220a divides the transmission line distance by the speed of the electricity (0.7 to 0.85 of the speed of light 3*10⁸ meters/second; the reduction is due to the resistance in the transmission lines 212) and then determines a time to transmit the electrical power onto the network 210 based on the current time and the electrical phase at the input location A 214a. As another example, the power generation device A 220a determines n=(transmission distance from the power generation device A 220a to the input location A 214a)/(0.7*3*10⁸ meters/second), where n represents a time to transmit the electrical power onto the network 210. In other examples, the speed of the electricity varies based on the electrical property of the conductor and/or the shielding material of the transmission lines 212. The power generation device A 220a phase synchronizes the electrical power supply based on the electrical phase for transmission to the input location A 214a on the electrical power transmission network 210. Table 1 illustrates exemplary transmission line distances, time synchronization data, and electrical phase configuration data. Table 2 illustrates exemplary phase synchronization of the electrical power supply.
