Optimal Operation for Resilient and Economic Modes in an Islanded Alaskan Grid
Legacy energy management systems for distribution system or microgrids are typically driven by economics. During extreme events, resiliency can be defined as ability of the system to keep supplying critical loads. Resilient operation during extreme events (e.g. avalanche in Alaska...

Experimental Characterization Test of a Grid-Forming Inverter for Microgrid Applications
Standardized experimental testing protocols for grid forming (GFM) inverters to ensure expected operation under both normal and contingency conditions do not exist. Such protocols increase the confidence of system owner/operators that an inverter deployed in a proposed system will...

Autonomous Microgrid Restoration Using Grid-Forming Inverters and Smart Circuit Breakers
The proliferation of distributed inverter-based resources (IBRs) raises the questions if these IBRs can be used to blackstart microgrids and distribution feeders after major outages. In this paper, we propose and evaluate an autonomous microgrid restoration concept using grid-for...

Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop Interfaces for Inverter-Based Microgrid Experiments Including Transitions
Microgrids continue to proliferate, particularly those that rely on inverter-based resources as the microgrid's voltage and frequency leader. Hardware-in-the-loop simulations can de-risk microgrid deployments, and therefore we need power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) interfaces for ...

DC Microgrid Reliability Enhancement with Adaptive Converter Thermal Management
Due to the different device selections, aging levels, and thermal dissipation performance, some converters may take additional thermal stress on switching devices than others in paralleled converter systems, which will reduce system reliability. To address this problem, this paper...

Blockchain-Enabled Cyber-Secure Microgrid Control Using Consensus Algorithm
This paper proposes a distributed control method based on a consensus algorithm for distributed energy resources (DERs) using blockchain as a secure communication medium for cyber resilience. Each DER communicates with a local blockchain server that is maintained by the distribute...
