Design and Optimization of Resiliency Oriented-Microgrid with High Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources

Fall 2021-Energy

Project Overview

This project focuses on designing and optimizing UCCS Campus as a microgrid with a high penetration of renewable distributed generation that can be operated in both islanded and grid-connected modes. The project aims at overcoming the power outage issue especially during severe weather conditions. One of the main objectives of this project is to investigate the economic and technical feasibility of designing UCCS campus as a resilient microgrid with high penetration of wind and solar PV energy sources
