CERTS views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a "Microgrid." The sources can operate in parallel to the grid or can operate in island, providing high levels of electrical reliability.
A critical feature of the CERTS MicroGrid derives from its presentation to the surrounding distribution grid as a single self-controlled entity; that is, it appears to the grid as indistinguishable from other currently legitimate customer sites.
The proposed configuration exhibits well-behaved transient responses for a variety of events, as well as the ability to maximize the harvest of PV energy during all modes of operation.
A better way to realize the emerging potential of distributed generation is to take a system approach which views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a "microgrid". The sources can operate in parallel to the grid or can operate in island, providing UPS services.
The project accomplished this objective by developing and demonstrating three advanced techniques, collectively referred to as the CERTS Microgrid concept, that significantly reduce the level of custom field engineering needed to

CERTS has made major contributions to the industry adoption of microgrids through the development of a set of advanced microgrid control and integration techniques, known collectively as the CERTS Microgrid Concept.
The CERTS Microgrid Concept, as described in detail in this report, represents an approach to controlling the electrical operation of the energy sources and loads within a microgrid while minimizing the need for communication among them. The objective of the CERTS Microgrid Concept is to establish
