Abstract

A steadily growing share of renewable energies with uctuating and decentralized generation as well as rising peak loads require novel solutions to ensure the reliability of electricity supply. More speci cally, grid stability is endangered by equally relevant line constraints and battery capacity limits. In this light, energy packet-based dispatching with power signal dual modulation has recently been introduced as an innovative solution. However, this approach assumes a central synchronicity provision unit for energy packet dispatching. In order to overcome this assumption, the present paper's main contribution is a design of an energy packet receiver which recovers the required synchronicity information directly from the received signal itself. Key implementation aspects are discussed in detail. By means of a DC grid example, simulation results show the performance and applicability of the proposed novel receiver for packet-based energy dispatching.
