GHOST: Grid Hardware Open Source Testbed

Apr 30, 2018, 18:00 PM
The software was developed for microgrid controller procurement, where multiple microgrid controller vendors were competing to prove the best performance. Each microgrid controller was connected to a real-time simulator (Opal-RT), where the real-time model of microgrid was simulated. Microgrid controllers were able to control most of the assets in the model. To fairly compare performance, each controller was evaluated using the same model, with the same initial conditions, and exactly the same test sequence.
