Distributed Wind Controls: A Research Roadmap for Microgrids, Infrastructure Resilience, and Controls Launchpad (MIRACL)

FY 2021 Isolated Grids and Grid-Connected Turbine Reference Systems; Microgrids, Infrastructure Resilience, and Advanced Controls Launchpad (MIRACL)

“…The research road map of distributed wind control (Reilly, Poudel, et al 2021) for the MIRACL project documents a literature review of active and reactive control capabilities of different DERs and develops a path for the application of such control technologies for distributed wind turbines structured by MIRACL use cases. The MIRACL team created a Simulink model for isolated, grid-connected, and microgrid deployments which is available on GitHub ( Anderson 2021).…”

Energy Resilient Recovery in Puerto Rico: Hurricane Maria Recovery Support

“…Study method: Stability analyses need a detailed model of the network and the network components. These studies also need to consider grid-forming inverters and energy storage systems (Reilly et al 2021). The relevant simulation software that can be used, e.g., PSCAD, MATLAB, should be capable of capturing the dynamic interactions of the important network components.…”

Advanced Distributed Wind Turbine Controls Series: Part 1-Flatirons Campus Model Overview – Microgrids, Infrastructure Resilience, and Advanced Controls Launchpad (MIRACL)

“…The research road map of distributed wind controls (Reilly, Poudel, et al 2021) for the Microgrids, Infrastructure Resilience, and Advanced Controls Launchpad (MIRACL) documents a literature review of active and reactive control capabilities of different distributed energy resources (DERs) and develops a road map for the application of such control technologies for distributed wind turbines. The road map envisions developing advanced controls for distributed wind turbines in four use cases, as defined by the multilaboratory MIRACL team (Reilly, Gentle, et al 2021): (1) isolated grids, (2) microgrids, (3) behind-the-meter wind turbine deployments, and (4) front-of-the-meter wind turbine deployments.…”
