Evaluation of Optimal Net Load Management in Microgrids Using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
This paper presents the performance evaluation of a net load management (NLM) engine that balances load and generation in an isolated community to power a critical facility after a grid interruption event (e.g., the loss of a large generation unit). This NLM engine is particularly...

Flexible Operation of Microgrids Through Operator-Configurable Microgrid Controllers
Microgrids are becoming critical assets in power distribution systems. This is partly due to the resiliency and reliability challenges faced by power distribution systems in the last decade and partly due to the increased integration of distributed energy resource assets, such as ...

A Novel Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop Interface Method for Grid-Forming Inverter Systems
Power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) simulations of grid-forming (GFM) inverter systems facilitate the testing of drastic scenarios, such as on-grid to off-grid transitions and islanded microgrid operations without a stiff grid. To the authors' best knowledge, most studies in the lit...

Post-Disaster Microgrid Formation for Enhanced Distribution System Resilience
This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based approach for post-disaster critical load restoration in active distribution systems to form microgrids through network reconfiguration to minimize critical load curtailments. Distribution networks are represented as gra...

The Value of Battery Storage in Military Microgrids: An Assessment for ESTCP
Fixed military installations cannot function without a reliable supply of electricity. The U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) mission is under increasing threat as the power backbone of installations faces growing risk from grid power outages, especially as outages of up to ...

Scaling Up Energy Efficiency Investment in Emerging Markets Private Sector Perspectives
Since 2000, electricity demand has flattened and decoupled from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. This trend is anticipated to continue for the next several decades and is largely attributed to the im...

Identifying Best Performance Scenarios for Micro Nuclear Reactors During Grid Disruption
Micro Nuclear Reactors (MNRs) are an emerging innovation in nuclear technology as small, portable, and self-sufficient reactor units in the size of a standard 40-foot shipping container. An MNR functions as a “nuclear battery,” where each unit can power load capacities from 50...
