The CERTS Microgrid Features
• peer-to-peer electronic microgrid devices avoids dependence on any central fast control or protection scheme
• devices are plug-and-play, so configuration is flexible, maximum advantage of CHP possible (possibly highly dispersed)
• a cluster of small (e.g. < 500 kW) sources, storage systems, and loads which presents itself to the grid as a legitimate entity, i.e. as a good citizen, and manages power quality and reliability locally
• interconnected with the familiar wider power system, or macrogrid, at a point of common coupling, but islands at a fast static switch

µGRD: Unique Characteristics
components are modeled in direct phase quantities without any approximating assumptions, for example symmetrical components.– provides the capability of handling three wire, four-
wire and five-wire systems– provides high fidelity models– provides voltages and currents in Neutral wires and
ground wires
