Idaho National Laboratory (INL) microgrid testbeds

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

A microgrid is a localized group of electricity sources and loads that can operate autonomously. A microgrid normally operates connected to and synchronous with the traditional centralized grid, but a microgrid can disconnect and function independently as needed. It can be powered by distributed generators, batteries or renewable resources. As microgrid installations expand throughout and interconnect in larger amounts with bulk power grid systems, microgrid research and development testbed systems will be important for advanced development and testing of new system control functions and devices. These testbeds can help ensure that the combined power systems are designed with full functionalities to enable mutual benefit and optimal control across the integrated systems.
