The CERTS Microgrid Concept, as Demonstrated at the CERTS/AEP Microgrid

The Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) has made major contributions to industry adoption of this microgrid definition through a pioneering microgrid demonstration at a full-scale test bed operated by American Electric Power (AEP), the largest electric utility in the Midwestern United States.

[PDF] CERTS Microgrid Laboratory Test Bed | Semantic Scholar

The CERTS Microgrid concept captures the emerging potential of distributed generation using a system approach. 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 uninterruptible power-supply services. The system can disconnect from the utility during large

CERTS Microgrid Laboratory Test Bed (Conference) | OSTI.GOV

The objective of the CERTS Microgrid Test Bed project was to enhance the ease of integrating energy sources into a microgrid. 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

The AEP/CERTS microgrid assume four protection zones, within the islandable portion, with shunt trip circuit breakers between Zone 2 and Zone 3, Zone 3 and Zone 4 and between Zone 2 and Zone 5. The system could be designed without these circuit breakers but the protection zones remain the same. In either case, sources feeding the fault must
