Abstract

As technologies advances, the Networked Microgrids (NMG) is widely envisioned to be the future form of the smart grid, for its autonomy, distributed energy resources hosting capability, enhancements in reliability and resilience, etc. This presentation will dissect the NMG vision into several key technologies in the cyber (communication network) and physical (power system) layers, e.g. the needs of network/information technology to enable the resilience, reliability, and cost-effective operation of the networked NMG. This presentation will also highlight two of the fundamental technologies: resilient Collaborative Distributed Energy Management System (CoDEMS) and the Smart Battery Gauge technology that are currently developed in ADAC lab at NC State University.
