Laboratory Directed Research and Design (LDRD) originating technologies are being developed to address challenges inherent to highly stochastic energy sources and loads, to conceivably satisfy the electrical energy needs of national/international power systems. The Enabling Secure, Scalable Microgrids with High Penetration Renewables Grand Challenge LDRD (FY11-FY13) aimed to develop a novel intelligent grid architecture, Secure Scalable Microgrid (SSM), based on closed loop controls and an agent-based architecture supporting intelligent power flow control. The approach was to enable self-healing, self-adapting, self-organizing architectures and allow a trade-off between storage in the grid versus information flow to control generation sources, power distribution, and where necessary, loads.
