Resilience and Economics of Microgrids with PV, Battery Storage, and Networked Diesel Generators
Current designs and assessments of microgrids have ignored component reliability, leading to significant errors in predicting a microgrid's performance while islanded. Existing life cycle cost studies on hybrid microgrids—which combine photovoltaics (PV), battery storage and net...

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...

Understanding Line Losses and Transformer Losses in Rural Isolated Distribution Systems
Rural, isolated power systems in the mainland U.S. and in states like Alaska and Hawaii are powered by assets like diesel generators. These rural, isolated power systems also cannot operate at the higher band of medium voltage (like 69kV). They are primarily in the 12 to 14 kV ran...

Integration of Electrolysis Systems Into Isolated Microgrid Systems at Extreme Cold Climates
Isolated microgrid systems are generally used to power communities in remote locations where transmission line installations are cost prohibitive. These systems are usually powered by diesel generators, delivering expensive energy with high carbon emissions. However, most of these...
