Panel Session: Microgrids – Perspective & Experience from Utilities, DOE and National Labs (slides)

This panel session is intended to present challenges and experience in design, implementation and testing of microgrids, from perspective of Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), one of utilities that has been actively involved in various aspects of microgrid research, development and implementation.
As part of these activities, ComEd has been working with Department of Energy, national labs, academia and industry addressing various aspects of research, development and implementation, such as microgrid monitoring and control, integration of DER, protection, integration of microgrid management system within SCADA and ADMS, microgrid clustering and other relevant problems. One of the objectives of this panel session is to bring perspectives from other participants in this technology, such as Department of Energy EERE System Integration Technology Office (SETO) that has been instrumental in supporting of various aspects of the technology; National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) that has been developing and testing state of the art architectures for integration of wide area networks, including ADMS, Microgrids, and various DERs, as well as ComEd own experience.
Presentations and Panelists:
• “Integration of Microgrids In Distribution Networks – Perspective & Experience from Utilities, DOE and National Labs” by M. Baggu, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
• “Solar PV, Microgrids and Communities” by G. Yuan, Department of Energy
