An Innovative Energy Management System for Microgrids with Multiple Grid-Forming Inverters
As increasingly more grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources replace traditional fossil-fueled synchronous generators as the GFM sources in microgrids, the existing microgrid energy management systems (EMS) need to be updated to control and coordinate multiple GFM inverters th...

Investigating Multi-Microgrid Black Start Methods Using Grid-Forming Inverters
This paper examines state-of-the-art microgrid (MG) black-start technologies with grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources (IBRs) and proposes black start and interconnection methods for 100% inverter-based MGs. A multiple-MG approach is proposed and compared to the existing me...

Using Energy Storage-Based Grid Forming Inverters for Operational Reserve in Hybrid Diesel Microgrids
Studies transient dynamics in a hybrid diesel microgrid during loss of wind generation and evaluates a transition from diesel spinning reserve to a battery energy storage system operating reserve using grid-forming inverters. Combines electromagnetic simulations with a power hardw...

Droop Control-Based Dispatch of an Islanded Microgrid with Multiple Grid-Forming Sources
Before rotating, fossil fuel-based, synchronous generators (SGs) are phased out, in line with renewable generation goals, grid-forming (GFM) inverters are expected to parallel SGs. Primary droop control allows GFM inverters to share power without communication; however, it is nece...

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 ...

Use of Grid-Forming Medium-Voltage Power Electronics Hub in a Microgrid Setting
This paper presents the application of a new design of a multiport, modular, medium-voltage power electronics hub (M3PE-HUB) in a microgrid setting. The M3PE-HUB system was modeled in a digital real-time simulator (DRTS) and integrated into the Banshee microgrid test system. This ...

Development of a Practical Secondary Control for Hardware Microgrids
Practical, vendor-agnostic interoperability guidelines for the secondary control architecture of microgrids (MGs) with multiple grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources (IBRs) have not yet been developed. Therefore, this paper proposes a generic and vendor-agnostic secondary co...

Study of Inverter Control Strategies on the Stability of Microgrids Toward 100% Renewable Penetration: Preprint
This paper investigates microgrid transient stability with mixed generation synchronous generator (SG), grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) inverters under increasing penetration levels toward a 100% renewable generation microgrid. Specifically, the dynamics of a microgrid...
