The current power grid faces the long-term challenge of efficiently integrating renewables and distributed energy resources (DERs) due to demand inflexibility, legacy grid operations, and uncertainties caused by human behavior. This challenge becomes more acute as energy generation becomes ‘greener’ and more distributed, and as electric vehicles proliferate. The Distributed Energy Resources Connect (DERConnect) infrastructure project envisions a unique open-access and remote access national testbed facility that will accelerate the development of methods and tools that incorporate real-time data analytics, machine learning, and distributed control algorithms into future grid architectures under dynamic conditions. DERConnect represents a first-of-its-kind complete integrated grid system, enabling the exploration of joint optimization of grid operations and communications infrastructure in both normal and adversarial operating conditions. The project aligns well with the nation's high-priority goals of clean and efficient energy.As noted in 2017 and 2019 National Renewable Energy Laboratory workshops, the major limitation in developing new power grid technologies is the lack of large-scale environments to test and validate effective control algorithms. The DERConnect testbed being created in this project will integrate a combination of DERs, including photovoltaics, battery energy storage, electric vehicles, hardware emulators (to emulate solar and wind energy sources), and controllable building subsystems such as lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning subsystems using a combination of simulation, emulation, and physical hardware. The DERConnect will permit researchers to explore innovative distributed control algorithms and tools for complex, accessible, and trustworthy cyber-physical systems, and to study the interplay between humans, technology, access to information and incentives. The infrastructure facility addresses a high national need and offers stakeholders the ability to conduct research on the control and operation of multiple and diverse DERs in a realistic and cyber-secured environment. The DERConnect facility will be a platform for new opportunities to train and develop the next generation of students, teachers, and workforce critical for the successful modernization of the U.S. power grid. By leveraging University of California, San Diego education programs, the DERConnect team will implement extensive education and outreach activities for K-12 students and teachers, and partner with local STEM programs such as the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science, called COSMOS, and the Santa Fe Community College. The DERConnect project is an ideal training basis for microgrid design and construction with unparalleled benefits to the California Native American tribes who rely on microgrid infrastructures for energy security.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

由于需求缺乏灵活性、遗留电网运行以及人类行为造成的不确定性，当前电网面临着有效集成可再生能源和分布式能源(DER)的长期挑战。随着能源生产变得更加“绿色”和更加分散，以及电动汽车的激增，这一挑战变得更加严峻。分布式能源连接(DERConnect)基础设施项目设想了一个独特的开放访问和远程访问国家试验台设施，该设施将加快开发方法和工具，将实时数据分析、机器学习和分布式控制算法整合到动态条件下的未来电网架构中。DERConnect是首创的完整集成电网系统，能够在正常和敌对运行条件下探索电网运营和通信基础设施的联合优化。该项目与国家清洁高效能源的高度优先目标非常一致。正如在2017年和2019年国家可再生能源实验室研讨会上所指出的那样，开发新电网技术的主要限制是缺乏大规模环境来测试和验证有效的控制算法。该项目中正在创建的DERConnect试验台将集成DER，包括光伏、电池储能、电动汽车、硬件仿真器(以仿真太阳能和风能)，以及使用仿真、仿真和物理硬件相结合的可控建筑子系统，如照明和供暖、通风和空调子系统。DERConnect将允许研究人员为复杂、可访问和值得信赖的网络物理系统探索创新的分布式控制算法和工具，并研究人、技术、信息获取和激励之间的相互作用。该基础设施满足了国家的高度需求，并为利益攸关方提供了在现实和网络安全的环境中就多个和多样化的DER的控制和运行进行研究的能力。DERConnect设施将为培训和发展对美国电网成功现代化至关重要的下一代学生、教师和劳动力提供新的机会。通过利用加州大学圣地亚哥分校的教育项目，DERConnect团队将为K-12学生和教师实施广泛的教育和外展活动，并与当地的STEM项目合作，如加州州立数学与科学暑期学校(COSMOS)和圣达菲社区学院。DERConnect项目是微电网设计和建设的理想培训基础，为依赖微电网基础设施确保能源安全的加州美洲原住民部落带来了无与伦比的好处。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
