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...

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...
