This white paper focuses on tools that support design, planning and operation of microgrids (or aggregations of microgrids) for multiple needs and stakeholders (e.g., utilities, developers, aggregators, and campuses/installations).
READ MOREAbstract. A microgrid is a small portion of a power distribution system with distributed generators along with energy storage devices and controllable loads which can give rise to a self-sufficient energy system. From the utility grid side, a microgrid is seen as an equivalent generator that is able to seamlessly disconnect and operate

READ MOREAbstract. A microgrid is a distributed system configuration with generation, distribution, control, storage and consumption connected locally, which can operate isolated or connected to other microgrids or the main grid. It contrasts with traditional centralized grids through bidirectional connection with users and autonomous local control layers.

READ MOREA microgrid is a self-sufficient energy system that serves a discrete geographic footprint, such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center or neighborhood. Within microgrids are one or more kinds of distributed energy (solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat and power, generators) that produce its power.
