N2 - We propose the design of an energy packet switch for forwarding and delivery of energy in digital power grids in this paper. The proposed switch may receive energy from one or multiple power sources, store and forward it in the form of energy packets to requesting loads connected to one or multiple ports of the switch. Energy packets carry discrete amounts of energy for a finely controlled supply. Loads receive discrete amounts of energy through packets rather than a continuing and discretionary energy flow. Using energy packets may help manage the delivery of power in a more reliable, robust, and economical form than that used by the present power grid. The control and management of the proposed switch are based on a request-grant protocol. The switch uses a data network for the transmission of these requests and grants. The energy packet switch may be the centerpiece for creating infrastructure in the realization of the digital power grid. The design of the energy packet switch is based on shared supercapacitors to shape and manage discretization of energy. We introduce the design and analysis of the electrical properties of the proposed switch and describe the procedure used in the switch to determine the amount of energy transmitted to requesting loads.
