Abstract
Various embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to methods and systems for real-time, or near real-time, balancing of an electrical distribution grid. According to at least one embodiment, there is provided one or more local balancing systems, each comprising: an energy storage unit (ESU) operable to store direct current (DC) power; a power converter comprising a DC side and an AC side, the power converter being operable to convert between single-phase (AC) power and DC power, wherein the DC side is electrically coupled to the ESU and the AC side is electrically couplable to at least one secondary distribution block in a secondary distribution grid; and a local controller coupled to the power converter and operable to control the power converter to convert between DC power and AC power.
