Why Microgrids?• Support integration of smart grid & renewables• Ease application of combined heat & power• Local generation reduces electricity losses• Disperses investments between central and local assets• Assist in reducing peak load• Serve critical loads • Provide local power quality & reliability• Promotes community involvement & energy independence• Provide local power during outages• Supports main grid
– Provide ancillary services to main grid– Manage variability of loads and renewables locally

Some Challenges and Risks
8
Challenges to a Smart Grid1. Businesses, state regulators, and consumer advocates are
unconvinced of the value of smart grid technologies due to lack of performance data on costs and benefits
2. Insufficient or inadequate technologies, components, and systems to leverage IT potential of smart grid
3. No established standards for interoperability of systems and components
4. Insufficient cyber security for a smart grid architecture5. Lack of a skilled workforce to build, install, operate, and
maintain systems and equipment6. Consumer understanding of the electrical infrastructure and
opportunities enabled by smart grid technologies
7. Change management – vision, alignment, education, metrics8. Future proofing – communications9. Shift in regulatory paradigm – least cost, “used and useful”

Common Objectives Among DOE’s Microgrid Projects
• Reduce peak load• Benefits of integrated DER (i.e., DG, DR, e-storage)• Ability to integrate variable renewables• Operate in “islanding” and “grid parallel” modes• Import and export capabilities• Two-way communications (frequency, verification, data latency)• Data management • Price-driven demand response• Dynamic feeder reconfiguration• Outage management (i.e., number, duration, and extent)• Volt/VAR/frequency control• Balance distributed and central control• Cyber security • Interconnection and interoperability• Defer generation, transmission, and distribution investments

Goals of the IIT Microgrid Project
• 50% peak demand reduction• 20% permanent demand reduction
• Demonstrate the value of Perfect Power– Cost avoidance and savings in outage costs
– Deferral of planned substations
• New products and commercialization• Replicable to larger cities • Promotion of energy efficiency and cleaner cities

Loops at Perfect Microgrid
26
Components of IIT Microgrid• An 8 MW combined cycle gas unit • 1.4 MW of PV cells on building rooftops to supply
portions of campus load. • 500-kWh ZBB storage increases the reliability and
efficiency of the microgrid. • An 8 kW Viryd wind turbine is installed on the north
side of the campus in Stuart soccer field.
• Electric vehicle charging stations facilitating small energy storage and providing green energy for electric vehicles.
