CERTS Microgrid Test Bed Phase II

Phase II of the CERTS Microgrid Test Bed Project focused on prioritizing, developing and, as appropriate, demonstrating at bench-scale the needed additional technology enhancements required to further optimize the microgrid from the explicit perspective of enhancing the business case for microgrids. The microgrid technology enhancements that were studied included:

1. Reduction of protection costs
2. Reduction of DC storage costs
3. Inclusion of AC storage
4. Inclusion of non-inverter-based microsources
