COORDINATED DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARDIZED MODULAR MICROGRID CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR REMOTE ALASKAN COMMUNITIES. THE PROJECT ADVANCES STANDARDIZED, MODULAR MICRO-GRID CONTROL DESIGNS, WHILE EXPANDING COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT METHODS TO ALLOW REMOTE COMMUNITIES TO PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF THEIR OWN MICRO-GRID CONTROL SYSTEMS. REMOTE COMMUNITIES WILL BE ENGAGED AND PROVIDED TOOLS TO COLLECT DATA ABOUT THEIR LOCAL ENERGY SYSTEM AND ENERGY NEEDS IN A MANNER THAT STANDARDIZES THE DATA, ALLOWING THE DATA TO BE USED IN MODEL-BASED SIMULATIONS MIMICKING A VARIETY OF SYSTEM-TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS. THE OUTCOMES WILL ALLOW COMMUNITIES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE VERY HIGH COST THAT MICROGRID DEVELOPERS OFFERS ALONG WITH THE REQUIREMENTS TO COMMIT TO LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH EXTERNALLY PROVIDED CONTROL PLATFORMS.
