A new DC & Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid Technical standard, that includes requirements for power conversions, storage, interconnect infrastructure, grounding and protection, examples of various microgrid architectures, and more, will be reviewed in detail. The standard was developed by a multi-disciplinary group of industry and subject matter expert members of the EMerge Alliance.
A second new standard called the Device Interoperability Data Model (IDM) Standard, defines a digital model framework for critical power flow characteristics of individual devices for use in DC and/or Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid, including equipment for power sources, conversions, storage, distribution, grounding, protection, and distribution sub-systems like USB-PD, PoE, Class 4 FMP and more. Participants will be given instructions on how to get their OEM products listed in an open-source library of these device data models.
