@inproceedings{sbordone_huq_baran_2015, title={An experimental microgrid for laboratory activities}, DOI={10.1109/eeeic.2015.7165188}, abstractNote={This paper introduces development of a small scale microgrid which consists of a PV system, an energy storage device, and a load. The system is intended for conducting experiments to demonstrate and/or investigate different design and control issues related to microgrids. The system has also a data acquisition and power management component in order to facilitate monitoring and management of the system in different operating conditions. Hence, the system can be used for both education and research purposes. Two experiments have been provided to illustrate the flexibility of the proposed microgrid.}, booktitle={2015 IEEE 15th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (IEEE EEEIC 2015)}, author={Sbordone, D.

To facilitate the operation of such systems, the paper investigates the use of local storage, and proposes an Energy Management System (EMS) for this purpose. The paper shows that the proposed EMS can address the main operational issues, such as reducing energy consumption during peak loading conditions and limiting excess reverse power flow back to the utility.}, booktitle={2012 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)}, author={Huq, K.

PV systems are smaller scale resources and therefore they have different impact on a distribution circuit than larger scale resources. The paper indeed considers a typical residential feeder and investigates PV system impacts on the system at different penetration levels. Simulations on this system show that the even the high penetration level PV systems can be accommodated as the impact on the system will not be severe.}, booktitle={2011 ieee power and energy society general meeting}, author={Baran, Mesut and Hooshyar, H. and Shen, Z. and Gajda, J. and Huq, K.
