DynaGrid: Dynamic Microgrids for Large-Scale DER
Objectives & Outcomes Develop a framework for the dynamic formation and operation of networked microgrids to address major research challenges outlined in the Topic 4 concept paper
The term “microgrid” refers to the concept of a small number of DERs connected to a single power subsystem. DERs include both renewable and /or conventional resources . The electric grid is no longer a one-way system from the 20th-century . A constellation of distributed energy technologies is paving the way for MGs, , .
Abstract—The Microgrid paradigm is gaining momentum as one of the key pieces of technology for expanding clean energy access and improving energy resilience. Most of the interest in this pertains to distinct entities that either generate electricity or act as loads, i.e., distinct producers and consumers.
Similar technical challenges were explored by the European Union MICROGRIDS project such as energy management, safe islanding and re-connection practices, protection equipment, control strategies under islanded and connected scenarios, and communications protocols .
Electricity distribution networks globally are undergoing a transformation, driven by the emergence of new distributed energy resources (DERs), including microgrids (MGs). The MG is a promising potential for a modernized electric infrastructure, .
