Impact of Load Tap Changer Control Operation Under Microgrid Conditions
Every microgrid is unique in its diversity of assets, operation, and network structure. This uniqueness presents challenges for each microgrid implementation that need to be understood and addressed to prevent power quality concerns, stability issues, and blackouts. In this resear...

Analysis of Microgrid Performance, Reliability, and Resilience (AMPeRRe) Computational Model: Novel Analytical Model to Forecast the Outcomes of Installation Power Grids
Federal facilities, industrial areas, academic campuses, and communities are working to incorporate greater renewable energy sources and energy storage in their power infrastructure. While renewable sources of energy can—and do—support several facilities, uncertainty still exi...

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...

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...

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...

Managing Wildfire Risk and Promoting Equity through Optimal Configuration of Networked Microgrids
As climate change increases the risk of large-scale wildfires, wildfire ignitions from electric power lines are a growing concern. To mitigate the wildfire ignition risk, many electric utilities de-energize power lines to prevent electric faults and failures. These preemptive powe...
