The objective of the project is to advance the evolution of the electric power system to a distributed utility architecture by developing a pricing mechanism that will demonstrate the effectiveness of distributed energy resources in meeting the growing demand for electricity while decreasing the production of greenhouse gases and maintaining system reliability. The research project will develop and demonstrate a market signal drawing upon the concepts of frequency droop and own price elasticity in order to create a "price droop" signal. Simulations using this signal will demonstrate the ability of distributed energy resources, organized into microgrids and coordinated to act as a unified entity, to participate in electricity markets. The project will demonstrate the open-loop, multi-agent price droop signal through computer simulations. Intellectual Merit: The project advances the knowledge and understanding in the area of power engineering and economic theory. The contribution of this research will be (i) to expand the concept and design of a microgrid to include active demand response technologies, (ii) to develop the new price droop signal that allows customers and suppliers within a microgrid to participate in electricity markets, both locally and at the high voltage level, and (iii) to demonstrate the ability of distributed energy resources to help reduce overall power system greenhouse gas production. Broader Impacts: The research project will promote the increased use of microgrids by demonstrating the effectiveness of distributed energy resources (including renewable energy and demand response) in meeting the demand for clean and reliable electricity. Being based at Smith College, a women's undergraduate institution with an economically diverse student body, the project will involve underrepresented minorities in all aspects of the educational and research activities - the research project is designed to be accessible, yet also challenging, for participation by undergraduate students. In addition, the PI will develop and pilot course modules on renewable energy and customer demand response at the Smith College Campus School, an experimental K-6 school, located adjacent to Smith College, with strong ties to the engineering program.

该项目的目标是通过开发一种定价机制来推动电力系统向分布式公用事业架构的发展，该机制将证明分布式能源在满足日益增长的电力需求方面的有效性，同时减少温室气体的产生并保持系统的可靠性。该研究项目将根据频率下降和自身价格弹性的概念开发和演示市场信号，以创建“价格下降”信号。使用这一信号的模拟将展示分布式能源的能力，这些能源被组织成微电网，并作为一个统一的实体进行协调，以参与电力市场。该项目将通过计算机模拟演示开环、多智能体价格下降信号。知识价值：该项目促进了在电力工程和经济理论领域的知识和理解。本研究的贡献将是：(1)扩展微电网的概念和设计，使其包括主动需求响应技术；(2)开发新的价格下降信号，使微电网内的客户和供应商能够参与本地和高压水平的电力市场；(3)证明分布式能源有助于减少整个电力系统温室气体产生的能力。更广泛的影响：该研究项目将通过展示分布式能源（包括可再生能源和需求响应）在满足清洁和可靠电力需求方面的有效性，促进微电网的更多使用。该项目位于史密斯学院（Smith College），这是一所经济多元化的女子本科院校，该项目将在教育和研究活动的各个方面涉及未被充分代表的少数民族。该研究项目旨在为本科生的参与提供便利，但也具有挑战性。此外，PI将在史密斯学院校园学校开发和试点可再生能源和客户需求响应课程模块，这是一所实验性的K-6学校，位于史密斯学院附近，与工程项目密切相关。
