Abstract
In this poster, we present a state flow based real time control of energy storage units for use in smart grids. Three different types of storage units are considered. A state flow chart was created using these three storage units. The state of the system such as (dis)charged, (dis)charging, or standby was controlled based on the value of an input signal and the resulting charge level for each storage system was observed. Three different square wave input signals were used to show the interaction between the three energy storages. The method was successful in maintaining a balance of the frequency of use of the units. The approach could be applied to grid-tied storage units having various power, voltage, and frequency characteristics.

State Flow-based Real-Time Control of Storage Units in Smart Grids
In this poster, we present a state flow based real time control of energy storage units for use in smart grids. Three different types of storage units are considered. A state flow chart was created using these three storage units.
