THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DESIGN A MW-SCALE MULTI-PORT CONVERTER INTERFACE CAPABLE OF AGGREGATING CHP, PV, AND BESS FOR DISTRICT ENERGY SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS AND BUILD AND DEPLOY A 375KW PROTOTYPE FOR FIELD DEMONSTRATION. THE SELECTED SITE ALREADY OPERATES A 120KW BIOMASS CHP THAT WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO THE PROTOTYPE ALONG WITH A 46KW PV SYSTEM AND 375KWH, 2H BESS THAT WILL BE INSTALLED WITHIN THIS PROJECT. IN ADDITION TO THE CONVERTER, AN IEEE 1547 AND IEEE 2030.7-COMPLIANT MICROGRID CONTROLLER WILL BE DEPLOYED TO TEST DEVELOPED ALGORITHMS FOR ECONOMIC DISPATCH, BLACK-START, AND ISLANDING OPERATION. THE PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF A MULTI-PORT CONVERTER FOR RENEWABLE-FUELED DISTRICT ENERGY SYSTEMS.
