Seminar Abstract: This talk will be mainly based on the research results of the US ARPA-E funded microgrid controller project at CURENT Center, University of Tennessee. The general microgrid and microgrid controller concept and status will be first reviewed. The challenges and limitations with the conventional microgrid and its controller for communities or utilities applications will be identified. The concept of the flexible microgrid with dynamic boundaries and multiple interface points based on a smart distribution system will be introduced, together with the strategy for a corresponding low cost controller. The main objectives, technical approaches, and status will be presented. Several key accomplishments and technical findings will be the focus of the talk, including microgrid grid design considering reliability and resilience requirements, control architecture and strategies considering dynamic boundaries, protection considerations, test implementations in hardware-in-the-loop, CURENT hardware testbed, and field tests. The practical application of the developed micorgrid concept and its controller will also be discussed.
