The objective of this work is to investigate a new paradigm wherein electricity customers install utility-compatible generation sources in their homes or facilities, each acting as an autonomous agent with economic, technical and social responses. In this microgrid, the utility acts as a facilitator, allowing customers to form ad hoc networks in emergencies. The approach is to develop a framework using multi-agent systems theory, and demonstrate it through high-fidelity modeling using a real-time digital simulator.Intellectual Merit:The intellectual merit is in extensive development, testing and demonstration of a new paradigm for a novel, completely autonomous, microgrid. Techniques that allow arbitrary installation of generation to cooperate as autonomous systems islands during emergencies have not been heretofore investigated extensively. This research will develop requisite theory, and demonstrate concepts that support autonomous operation of islands. Broader Impact:The broader impact includes a potential breakthrough in an emerging solution to reliable, secure and sustainable electric power systems; controller characterization through high-fidelity simulations to uncover hidden issues for sharing with manufacturing community to develop robust controllers; and preparing the next generation workforce for tomorrow's technologically advanced systems. Autonomous microgrids with high penetration of distributed resources are expected to constitute a significant part of the reliable and secure energy delivery infrastructure of tomorrow. Widespread microgrids mitigate the stress on power grids, and provide security against disruption caused by inadvertent events such as storms, or malicious intent. The development of such microgrids requires fundamental R&D such as this project, and progress in energy technologies, public policy and utility business models.

这项工作的目的是调查一种新的范式，在该范式中，电力客户在其房屋或设施中安装与公用事业兼容的一代来源，每种产品都充当具有经济，技术和社会响应的自治药物。在此微电网中，该公用事业充当促进者，使客户可以在紧急情况下形成临时网络。该方法是使用多代理系统理论开发框架，并通过使用实时数字模拟器进行高保真建模来证明它。IntlectualFure：知识分子正在广泛发展，测试和演示新型范式的新型范式，用于一种新颖的，完全自治的微电网。据迄今为止，允许随着紧急情况下的自主系统岛屿的任意安装来合作的技术尚未得到广泛的调查。这项研究将发展必要的理论，并展示支持岛屿自主行动的概念。更广泛的影响：更广泛的影响包括在新兴解决方案中的潜在突破，可靠，安全和可持续的电力系统；通过高保真模拟来表征控制者，以发现与制造社区共享的隐藏问题，以开发强大的控制器；并为明天的技术先进系统准备下一代劳动力。具有高渗透分布式资源的自主微电网有望构成明天可靠且安全的能源输送基础设施的重要组成部分。广泛的微电网减轻了电网的压力，并提供安全性，以防止因暴风雨或恶意意图等无意事件引起的破坏。此类微电网的开发需要基本的研发，例如该项目，以及能源技术，公共政策和公用事业业务模型的进展。
