The Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) is decision support software that can provide microgrid designers the information they need to identify optimal designs for performance, reliability, and cost. The MDT is a significant advancement over anything available to designers today and is being distributed for free by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Benefits of the toolkit:
- Provides ability to perform topology optimization
- Illuminates large trade space of design alternatives
- Provides a variety of performance, reliability, and cost-related insights for candidate microgrid designs
- Provides microgrid designers a full understanding of trade-offs associated with certain design decisions
- Provides many result views and graphs to help interpret results.
