Off-grid remote power systems, referred to here as microgrids, are key to providing electricity to rural Alaskans and are also a promising solution that addresses the fact that 10% of the world still lacks access to electricity as of 2019. The UNDP Sustainable Development Goal 7 (``Affordable and Clean Energy'') aims to increase affordable and clean energy access for all by 2030. It is estimated that 30% of newly electrified connections will be served by microgrids by 2030 (up to 70% in rural areas). Numerous microgrid planning and development tools exist. However, there are significant inconsistencies between network design methods and assumptions used in these tools. Such inconsistencies and uncertainty in best practices are detrimental to the rapid deployment of sustainable and stable microgrids necessary to meet the UN Sustainability Development Goal #7. The need for international and national remote isolated microgrid development has driven a flurry of new microgrid tool creation, which has grown in absence of comparative analysis of network layout and power system design assumptions, and standard engineering and economic performance metrics. This EPSCoR RII Track-4 Fellow Proposal entitled "RII Track-4:NSF: Isolated Amorphous Microgrid Design with Accelerated Power System Analysis and Network Layout (IMPALA) will assess remote isolated microgrid development tool methods and associated performance metrics to inform standards and tools that will aid the development of more stable, affordable, and sustainable microgrids.The objective of this project is to inform standards and tools that will aid the development of more stable, affordable, and sustainable microgrids. The project will develop a collaboration between Dr. Cicilio at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) at the Alaska Center for Energy and Power and the Laboratory for Energy And Power Solutions at Arizona State University (ASU). Through collaboration with ASU’s Laboratory for Energy And Power Solutions (LEAPS) team, Dr. Cicilio will be provided access to the Rapid Mapping Methodology and associated tools developed by the LEAPS team. The Rapid Mapping Methodology will be the baseline microgrid development tool which will be adapted to test variations in network design methods. The Rapid Mapping tool was built with aims to reduce feasibility assessment and engineering planning costs, increase speed, increase data analysis accuracy, improve technical detail in respect to power engineering, and incorporate comprehensive technical and financial analysis into one tool. Dr. Cicilio will bring together several key players in this proposal to drive impactful and applicable resulting metrics and methods to address these needs. This project will leverage the prior established connection with OnePower Africa with the new collaboration with ASU, as the host institution, to increase the geographical diversity and diversity of experience to inform the project’s evaluations. Existing and potential microgrid sites across the globe associated with project partners in Alaska, Lesotho, Niger, and Sierra Leone will be assessed to determine regional characteristics that may impact the performance of these methods. This will lead to more sustainable, affordable, and stable microgrids with implications not just to the African case studies but for rural Alaska as well.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

离网远程电力系统（此处称为微电网）是向阿拉斯加农村提供电力的关键，也是一个有希望的解决方案，它解决了一个事实，即截至2019年，全世界仍然无法获得电力。截至2019年，UPP可持续发展目标7（``负担得起和清洁的能源''的目标是增加了可付费的能源，并通过2030年来启用了零件。到2030年（在粗糙地区最高70％）。存在许多微电网计划和开发工具。但是，网络设计方法和这些工具中使用的假设之间存在明显的矛盾。这种最佳实践中的这种不一致和不确定性不利于迅速部署可持续和稳定的微电网，以实现联合国可持续发展的目标＃7。对国际和国家远程隔离的微电网开发的需求驱动了一系列新的微电网工具的创建，在没有网络布局和电力系统设计假设的比较分析以及标准工程和经济绩效指标的情况下，它不断增长。这款EPSCOR RII TRACK-4题为“ RII Track-4：NSF：具有加速的电力系统分析和网络布局（Impala）的孤立的无定形微电网设计（IMPALA）将评估远程隔离的微电网开发工具方法和相关性能指标，可为更稳定的项目提供了帮助，这是该稳定的阶段，并且可维持该项目的设施，该工具是该目标的，并且可以维持该目标的标准和工具。在阿拉斯加能源与权力中心的阿拉斯加Fairbanks（UAF）和亚利桑那州州立大学的实验室（ASU）与ASU的工具相关的工具（CICIC）的合作（CIICIO），Alaska Fairbanks（UAF）在阿拉斯加能源和电力解决方案中，Alaska Fairbanks（UAF）在阿拉斯加能源和电力解决方案中，将在阿拉斯加能源和电力解决方案的实验室（CICILIO）中，在阿拉斯加的能源和电力解决方案中开发了更稳定，负担得起的和可持续的微电网。飞跃团队。快速映射工具的构建是旨在减少可行性评估和工程计划成本，提高速度，提高数据分析准确性，改善有关动力工程的技术细节，并将全面的技术和财务分析纳入一个工具。 Cicilio博士将在该建议中汇集几个关键参与者，以推动有影响力且适用的结果指标和方法来满足这些需求。该项目将利用与Onepower Africa建立的与Onepower Africa建立的联系，与ASU（作为主机机构）的新合作，以增加地理多样性和经验的多样性，以告知该项目的评估。将评估与阿拉斯加，莱索托，尼日尔和塞拉利昂的项目合作伙伴相关的全球现有和潜在的微电网地点，以确定可能影响这些方法性能的区域特征。这将导致更具可持续性，负担得起和稳定的微电网，不仅对非洲案例研究产生影响，而且对阿拉斯加粗略的案例研究产生了影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来获得的支持。
