This Amended Determination follows the approval of new project milestones, new project locations, and changes in project performers to support the project team's small-scale, research and development activities of a modular resilient microgrid control integration platform. Specifically, the project team will (1) integrate microgrid system with model field platform, (2) test and validate integrated microgrid system and generation equipment model to meet operation metrics, (3) construct microgrid system and incorporate with on-site infrastructure components, (4) deploy system for field testing and validation to meet operation metrics, and (5) conduct a techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment for next phase of development. If successful, this project will result in a hardware device with a robust, cyber-secure software platform and a library of microgrid control algorithms that can be automatically customized by the microgrid coordination/control co-design flow, which will improve electrical distribution system reliability by reducing the system load under stress conditions, ultimately improving energy efficiency and reducing dependence on foreign energy sources, thereby increasing U.S. energy security.
