Demonstration Results
RDSI Secure Microgrid Demonstration Project
• Demonstrate – intentional islanding of a portion of the Utility
distribution system as a microgrid.– value of microgrids in peak load management.– advanced Cyber security solutions for microgrid
operations
Microgrid Resources
• Colorado State University – Engines and Energy Conversion Lab– 50-80 kW Load– 240 kW Diesel Generation
• City of Fort Collins – Northside Aztlan Recreation Center- 80-140 kW Load- 50 kW PV Generation
RDSI Microgrid Architecture
