Experimental Validation of Systems Engineering Resilience Models for Islanded Microgrids

Microgrids are used in many applications to power critical loads that have significant consequences if they lose power. Losing medical centers, water treatment plants, data national defense installations, airports, and other infrastructure can cause loss of money life. Although such microgrids generally reliable at providing stable power, their resilience disruption be poor. Common interruptions include natural disasters like earthquakes, man-made causes as cyber or physical attacks. Previous research into microgrid evaluation efforts centered on theoretical modeling total electrical loading, load prioritization, assumed capacity renewable energy sources associated storage systems, availability emergency generators. This assesses the validity two models developed for analyzing islanded by using experimental from a scaled system. A context is provided motivate work align with intended purpose models. The results this validate simulation valid use some situations, highlight areas further model improvement.
