A microgrid control system (MCS) is the central intelligence layer that manages the complex operations of a localized power grid. This system integrates diverse power sources, such as solar arrays, wind turbines, and battery storage, collectively known as Distributed Energy. . NLR develops and evaluates microgrid controls at multiple time scales. Our researchers evaluate in-house-developed controls and partner-developed microgrid components using software modeling and hardware-in-the-loop evaluation platforms. Think of it like the conductor of an orchestra, making sure every instrument—whether it's solar panels. . A microgrid can be considered a localised and self-sufficient version of the smart grid, designed to supply power to a defined geographical or electrical area such as an industrial plant, campus, hospital, data centre, or remote community.
