Milestones: 2011: Determine control strategies for urban and rural microgrids (90% complete) 2012: - Develop (linear) dynamic models of typical microgrids for control design/analysis (70% completed) - Identify hardware environment for digital implementation of control algorithms (80% completed) 2013: Identify, select, and evaluate communication requirements and infrastructure for control (and protection) of microgrids (15% complete)

Milestones (Continued) : Control Platform

Milestones (continued): 2014: Evaluate microgrid controls performance (in coordination with the protection system) - Time-domain simulation (15% complete) - Experimental-setups (20% completed) - Beta tests (30% completed) - Hardware-in-the-loop (20% complete)

Milestones (Continued): Hardware-in-the-loop Platform based on TRDS and NI-CRIO

Milestones (continued): 2015: Identify test sites for selected test scenarios (0% complete)
