Project Period: 10/2017 – 10/2022

Summary: The overall objective of this project is to evolve the future distribution grid that will allow the continuing increase of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) penetration towards a carbon-free electricity system. The research proposed here leads to the fully conceptualized Smart Distribution Grid that optimally utilizes Grid Storage. The development is then actualized using nine different test beds, and finally validated with field demonstrations at 10 different sites.
