4 FAQs about Urban Microgrid Model Project

What drives microgrid development?

Resilience, efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, security, and reliability are key drivers for microgrid developments. These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity.

What is a microgrid planning capability?

Planning capability that supports the ability to model and design new microgrid protection schemes that are more robust to changing conditions such as load types, inverter-based resources, and networked microgrids.

What is a microgrid?

The DOE defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the power grid.

What is a microgrid design tool?

The MDT allows designers to model, analyze, and optimize the size and composition of new microgrids or modifications to existing systems. Technology management, cost, performance, reliability, and resilience metrics are all offered by the tool.
