Routing optimization on power packet dispatching system based on energy loss minimization

Power packet dispatching system has been proposed for smart power management in the form of discretized packet. In this paper, we discuss the routing optimization of power packets on the network of power routers. We propose a cost metric for the power packet delivery by circuit analysis of the router network. Using the metric, we formulate the optimization problem as a general shortest path problem from a source node to a load node. The result of numerical simulations shows that the proposed algorithm can allocate distributed power sources to load demands and identify the optimal path for the power delivery.
