Advanced Integrated Power System - Programmatic Review (Briefing Slides)
Abstract
AFRL's deployed base smart grid project named AIPS (Advanced Integrated Power System) is a smart grid test bed where proposed modifications to the existing deployed base power grid infrastructure are tested and evaluated. Adding intelligent control systems in addition to alternative and renewable power sources distributed throughout the grid requires careful testing. AIPS is fully instrumented to evaluate the impact these technologies will have on the deployed base power grid. Modifications to the traditional grid infrastructure are also evaluated since these modifications are necessary to implement important smart grid capabilities such as automated integration of renewable and alternative energy sources, priority power routing, on demand load shedding, power quality compensation, advanced energy storage systems, seamless transition to backup supplies, peak load management, and grid master control shared by multiple dispersed controllers. These technologies increase grid reliability as well as making the deployed grid less vulnerable to attack.
