Power electronic (PE) systems are increasingly being integrated into distribution and sub-distribution networks in support of distributed energy resource integration (DERs), electric vehicle (EV) charging (particularly in the case of fast charging infrastructure), and improvement in power quality for high performance computing and/or servers farms. This provides an opportunity to research and develop integrated PE systems that can function as single systems thereby bringing additional functionality and benefits to the overall system. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate foundational technologies and capabilities for a multiport power electronics energy hub that can intelligently coordinate and control integrated sources and loads. The focus for this digest is on a commercial building use case which is demonstrated in hardware.
