AB  -                  Small-Scale Smart Grid Construction and AnalysisThe current electrical grid cannot maintain the rising energy demand of the digital age withoutthe construction of new power plants. In addition, this increasing need requires upgrading alarge number of components within the aging energy infrastructure. Furthermore, with theadvent and commercialization of electrified vehicles (EVs), energy demand has the capacity toclimb dramatically. A sustainable solution via renewable energy technologies can act to offsetthis increased demand; however, transformers and meters across the country do not currentlyaccount for this option. As a result, a wholesale revision of the electrical grid into an intelligentcommunication pathway (energy and information) is required in order to ensure the energysecurity of the United States. Moreover, this system must integrate the onset of EV technology,allowing for two-way transfer of energy and information between the vehicle fleet and the grid.To this end, a capstone design group at a leading research institution has constructed a scalesmart grid integrating solar and wind energy, energy storage, EVs, and the current energyinfrastructure demonstrating the capabilities of and a proposed control method for the system.Within this system, the grid has been broken into four main groups: energy sources, sinks,storage, and control, while keeping the focus on five defined E’s of sustainability: energy,economics, environment, education, and ethics. Through the design of a small scale gridexclusively by the students, the technology in modeling a large-scale grid was explored in detailthrough a trial-and-error methodology at a reduced cost.
