The objective of this exploratory research proposal is to build at a conceptual level a broad framework of an Intelligent Distributed Autonomous Power System (IDAPS). This research proposal is presented in the context of a new paradigm where a mix of central station generation, distributed generation and energy efficiency/demand side management practices will provide an alternative and sustainable way to meet the growing needs for electricity. The proposed concept takes into account the availability of cleaner, efficient and cost effective small-scale generation sources, as well as advanced IP-based communication technologies in building a resilient electric power system with demand-side participation. Intellectual merit: The development of an IDAPS microgrid conceptual framework will contribute to building a resilient and environmentally friendly customer-based microgrid which can exploit energy efficiency opportunities. While the current focus of microgrid R&D is on utility-owned Distributed Energy Resource (DER) units which are designed to work in a collaborative fashion the IDAPS concept captures and coordinates customer-owned DER devices. In addition, the proposed framework takes advantage of demand side management in ensuring that critical loads are served during emergency conditions. This is unlike the traditional approach where demand-side management and servicing of critical loads are not generally coupled. Broader Impacts: This research proposal represents a stepping-stone toward building a small IDAPS simulation test bed located at the Advanced Research Institute of Virginia Tech. The test bed will broaden student exposure beyond the academic environment through laboratory work. In addition, it will provide collaborative opportunities with other academic researchers who are active in similar research areas. Some of the research findings will also be used to teach a new graduate-level course on "Electrical Energy Infrastructure Assurance" at Virginia Tech.

这个探索性的研究建议的目的是建立在一个概念层面的智能分布式自治电力系统（IDAPS）的广泛框架。本研究建议是在一个新的范例的背景下提出的，其中中央发电站，分布式发电和能源效率/需求侧管理实践的组合将提供一种替代和可持续的方式来满足日益增长的电力需求。拟议的概念考虑到清洁，高效和具有成本效益的小规模发电源的可用性，以及先进的基于IP的通信技术，以建立需求方参与的弹性电力系统。智力优点：IDAPS微电网概念框架的发展将有助于建立一个弹性和环境友好的客户为基础的微电网，可以利用能源效率的机会。虽然目前微电网研发的重点是公用事业拥有的分布式能源（DER）单元，这些单元旨在以协作方式工作，但IDAPS概念捕获并协调客户拥有的DER设备。此外，拟议的框架利用需求方管理，确保在紧急情况下为关键负荷提供服务。这与传统的方法不同，在传统的方法中，需求方管理和关键负载的服务通常不相结合。更广泛的影响：这项研究建议是一个垫脚石，朝着建立一个小型的IDAPS模拟试验台位于弗吉尼亚理工大学的高级研究所。该试验台将通过实验室工作扩大学生在学术环境之外的接触。此外，它还将提供与活跃在类似研究领域的其他学术研究人员合作的机会。一些研究成果也将用于教授弗吉尼亚理工大学的一门新的研究生课程“电能基础设施保证”。
