This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $129,783 to Mississippi State University aims to develop control structures, design algorithms, and modular simulation testing models for optimal control architectures of inverter-based resources (IBRs) like solar photovoltaics, wind, and battery energy systems. The project will take initial steps toward establishing a taxonomy of optimal control designs for integrating these diverse energy systems into the power grid. Key objectives include enabling more consistent adoption of these advanced controllers by inverter manufacturers, facilitating more accurate power system stability analysis, and promoting STEM education and outreach activities. The project will consider four types of IBRs - single-phase, three-phase, grid-following, and grid-forming systems - to address challenges posed by their diverse resource dynamics, fast responses, and low over-current limits. The award period is from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026.
