      Abstract：

     This talk introduces a novel topology of a micro grid with pure-resistive and piecewise constant power features and a PSO-based control strategy to realize smart energy management, including 100% usage of intermittent renewable energy sources, and high stability. Particle swarm control strategies are utilized to track the best point for realizing the aforementioned features. There, the pure resistance feature can raise the stability in harmonics, power factor, and reactive power problems, moreover, another unique feature is demonstrated by its capability of pure resistance power network for extending. While the piecewise constant power feature can make the system predictable and relieve the power plants’ dispatching difficulty.
