Innovation Pointe Progressive Energy Resource Park (PREP), an Application of Distributed Generation, Microgrid and Smart Grid

This paper discusses the introduction to Smart Energy Source's (SES) Progressive Resource Energy Park (PREP) and PREP design processes. The PREP application to Central Rural Electric Cooperative's Innovation Pointe campus microgrid. The microgrid consists of solar distributed energy resource (DER), battery energy storage and emergency diesel generation. This microgrid is controlled by a medium voltage switchgear and microgrid controller that utilizes smartgrid features to two different distribution substation.
