The energy router is an important device for the future Energy Internet. Based on an analysis of the energy sharing method using the energy router in the Energy Internet environment
the basic requirements of the energy router are analyzed
and a multi-interface energy router main circuit structure based on power electronic converters is proposed. The proposed energy router consists of energy storage and its converter
common DC bus and energy interface. According to the application
the energy interface can be divided into network energy interface and local energy interface. The control strategies of the modules in the energy router are briefly described. With the control strategies
an energy router can provide the access interface for the local distributed energy resources and supply the local load. Meanwhile
the energy router can control the exchange power of its network energy interface
and realize the point to point energy transmission between energy routers or between the energy router and the external power grid
which means the energy routing function is realized. An energy management strategy for energy storage and network energy interface is proposed. The energy router simulation model is established in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The dynamic responses of the energy router and the energy management strategy are simulated
the simulation results verifying the correctness of the energy router main circuit and control strategy as well as the feasibility of the energy strategy proposed.
