Microgrid Resilience on Naval Installations by Adoption of Shipboard Zonal Distribution Hardware-in-the-Loop and Pilot Hardware Demonstrations.

Abstract

This specific proposal supports the Naval Postgraduate School’s (NPS) research entitled “Microgrid Resilience on Naval Installations by Adoption of Shipboard Zonal Distribution Hardware-in-the-Loop and Pilot Hardware Demonstrations.” This project continues to address Energy Storage System design/installation and Distribution System improvements to naval facilities by extending the focus to maximizing the resiliency of the grid through application of the zonal shipboard power distribution approach to the design of microgrids. Application of zonal ship approaches to shore installations to achieve energy security benefits from the inherent survivability benefits and experience on these types of systems and with additional benefit of allowing for modular and progressive upgrades in future years. Zones will be nanogrids, which will manage existing back-up generators with added energy storage and other distributed energy resources to meet the mission requirements of the naval facility. Zones correlate electrical zones of protection with partition-able physical zones of damage containment.
