Abstract:

Energy routers (ERs) are one of the core components of the energy Internet for achieving multi-port energy conversion and active energy flow control. This paper classified ERs into three categories: electrical ERs, information ERs, and multi-energy ERs. Based on the differences between these categories, the research on ERs is divided into four aspects: electrical conversion, focusing on topology and control of multi-port electrical conversion; energy routing control, primarily concerned with the regulation of power flow between ports of ERs; information processing and optimal control, emphasizing the acquisition and transmission of information and optimizing energy flow; and multi-energy coordination, with multi-energy comprehensive utilization as the main goal. Based on these four research aspects, this paper explored topology, control, communication, and multi-energy optimization of ERs, as well as the interrelationships between different aspects.

Key words: energy router (ER), power conversion, energy routing control, information processing, multi-energy comprehensive utilization
