Microgrids Part 3: Microgrid Modeling Software
In this part of Mayfield Microgrids, we will explore some of the most commonly used tools for modeling microgrids and overview the key features and benefits to look for in any microgrid
The MDT allows designers to model, analyze, and optimize the size and composition of new microgrids or modifications to existing systems. Technology management, cost, performance, reliability, and resilience metrics are all offered by the tool.
Sandia National Laboratories developed the Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT), a decision support software for microgrid designers that is publicly available for download.
If price is your main concern, especially if you are just starting out with microgrid services, NREL's SAM and REopt, and EPRI's DER-VET are free and open-source software with the confidence of NREL's expertise behind them.
The recommended focus on flexible and interoperable software will help promote agility in the microgrid program and stay at the forefront of modeling advanced control systems and their impact on planning and design. Education, technology transfer, and industry adoption.
