We would also like more » to thank Dan Ton, DOE Office of Electricity, and the Advanced Grid Research Program for supporting this work. The authors gratefully acknowledge Wilson Rickerson (Converge Strategies LLC), Michael Stadler (XENDEE), Russell Bent (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Guodong Liu (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), Kate Anderson (National Renewable Energy Laboratory), Harsha Nagarajan (Los Alamos National Laboratory), and Hassan Hijazi (Los Alamos National Laboratory). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank the various individuals, microgrid design tool developers and/or domain experts, who helped expand our understanding of the different tools and their capabilities.
This review will help to determine which elements of the proposed optimal design and operations (OD&D) tool should be formulated from first principles, and which elements should be integrated from past DOE investments. Their applicability to networked microgrid operations will be evaluated, and strengths and gaps of existing tools will be identified. These will include GridLAB-DTM, OpenDSS, and the hierarchical Engine for Large-scale Infrastructure Co-Simulation (HELICS). Additionally, other simulation and analysis tools which may provide fundamental support will be examined. This is a review of existing microgrid design tool capabilities, such as the Microgrid Design Tool (MDT), LANL PNNL NRECA Optimal Resilience Model (LPNORM), Distributed Energy Resource-Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM), Renewable Energy Optimization (REopt), and the Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER).
