CERTS Microgrid Test Bed Phase III

PI:

Lasseter, Robert

Project Status:

Current

Phase III of the CERTS Microgrid Test Bed Project involved the addition and integrated testing of four major new hardware elements:(1) a more flexible energy management system for dispatch; (2) a CERTS-compatible conventional synchronous generator; (3) intelligent load shedding; and (4) a commercially available, stand-alone electricity storage device with CERTS controls.
