CERTS Microgrid control is designed to facilitate an intelli-gent network of autonomous units. The concept has three crit-ical components, the static switch, the microsources and loads [4]. The static switch has the ability to autonomously island the microgrid from disturbances such as faults, IEEE 1547 events

The AEP/CERTS microgrid assume four protection zones, within the islandable portion, with shunt trip circuit breakers between Zone 2 and Zone 3, Zone 3 and Zone 4 and between Zone 2 and Zone 5. The system could be designed without these circuit breakers but the protection zones remain the same. In either case, sources feeding the fault must
A CERTS microgrid utilizes a set of control algorithms common to distributed energy resources which allows for system wide stability within rated conditions without a requirement for direct communications between devices. This type of network, peer-to-peer and plug and play, creates no dependencies as in master-slave control architectures

Systematic research and development programs [10], [11] began with the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) effort in the United States [12] and the MICROGRIDS project in Europe [13].Formed in 1999 [14], CERTS has been recognized as the origin of the modern grid-connected microgrid concept [15] envisioned a microgrid
The CERTS MicroGrid represents an entirely new approach to integrating DER. Traditional approaches for integrating DER focus on the impacts on grid performance of one, two or a relatively small number of microsources. An exampl e of the traditional approach to DER is found in the Institute of Electrical and
CERTS Microgrid concepts have been demonstrated at the Alameda County Santa Rita Jail in California. The existing system included a 1-MW fuel cell, 1.2 MW of solar photovoltaic, and two 1.2-MW diesel generators. Adding a 2-MW, 4-MWh storage system, a fast static switch, and a power factor correcting capacitor bank enabled microgrid operation.

Along with these new technologies, concepts for operating them partially under local control in microgrids are emerging, the CERTS Microgrid being one example. It has been demonstrated in simulation, and a laboratory test of a three microturbine system is planned for early 2005, to be followed by a field demonstration.

Introduction Evolutionary changes in the regulatory and operational climate of traditional electric utilities and the emergence of smaller generating systems such as microturbines have opened new opportunities for on-site power generation by electricity users. In this context, distributed energy resources (DER) small power generators typically located at users'' sites where the
The CERTS Microgrid offers these functionalities at much lower costs than traditional approaches by incorporating peer-to-peer and plug-and-play concepts for each component within the microgrid.
The Australian Microgrid Centre of Excellence (AMCOE) is a not-for-profit organization that operates an education and showcase facility providing resources towards the development and implementation of reliable, economic and sustainable energy solutions.
Our findings highlight a still nascent microgrid market in Australia but with growing interest and capability, built through increased collaboration between various actors. This has been helped by a targeted funding program focussing on microgrid feasibilities for remote and rural communities.
The CERTS Microgrid Test Bed demonstration with American Electric Power (AEP) was designed to enhance the ease of integrating small energy sources into a microgrid.
As previously discussed, the global microgrid market is still in its infancy, and Australia's microgrids are still mainly at the pre-feasibility stage, with only some early pilots. Interviewees were asked about the barriers they experienced in their microgrid feasibility projects.
Resilience was found to be a particularly strong driver for microgrids in Australia, while microgrids are expected to have a critical future role as part (islanded or not) of the electricity network. A lack of national policy framework for microgrids was identified as a major barrier that would hamper their implementation.
