Abstract: | The FREEDM microgrid is a smart grid solution with Distributed Grid Intelligence (DGI) to efficiently manage the power distribution and storage of renewable energy. Within the FREEDM system, DGI applies distributed control method in a unique way to achieve feasible load balancing in microgrid by migrating power between renewable energy generation and storage at each node. This paper presents the key aspects in implementing such a scheme and outlines the preliminary results obtained by integrating the proposed methodology. The results demonstrate the potential benefits of adopting DGI control on a microgrid.
