Scalable Coordination and Control for Multiple Microgrids: Ten Month Progress Report

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

The incorporation of distributed energy resources into existing distribution systems provides make voltage and frequency regulation challenging for distribution system operators and in sufficient concentrations can destabilize the power grid. Re-configuring our distribution systems as a system of connected microgrids is one method for mitigating these instabilities. However, there is little economic reason for distribution system operators to undertake this complex upgrade of their systems. By looking beyond voltage, frequency, and power regulation for microgrids, new methods for controlling and operating microgrids can provide new functionality such as load flattening that will benefit distribution systems operators. This report details the initial research into new scalable coordination and control techniques that could be used to add this new functionality.
