Document Description
This project is developing a software-driven, modular microgrid network for disaster-readiness, resiliency, and grid services and will deploy them at least five demonstration sites in DAC areas and two different IOU service territories. It will connect multiple customer-owned behind-the-meter DER assets into virtual networks of microgrid via cloud-based controls and an optimization platform. Each microgrid will be able to operate independently in a cybersecure way to reduce facility electric costs and to island in the event of an unplanned power outage or public safety power shutoff (PSPS) to keep critical operations and emergency shelters running.
