With the potential to incorporate a mix of clean, renewable energy sources and reliably supply electrical power to communities and businesses, microgrids figure big in modernization of the US power infrastructure. Looking to pave the way forward, the US Dept. of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is anticipating completion of a new microgrid testing facility, the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) later this year.
The ESIF and a high-performance computing data center will enable NREL researchers, as well as industry practitioners and academic research partners, to simulate entire microgrid distribution systems that incorporate a variety of renewable as well as conventional, power-generation technology and systems, capabilities that have thus far eluded them. read more>>>
