The design and specification of microgrids can be tedious and daunting tasks. And knowing whether components from various vendors are compatible and interoperable from a power flow and safety standpoint is difficult. Even finding the right components can take hours of research online or through catalogues and equipment tear-sheets. Multiply this challenge when it comes to increasingly popular dc coupled microgrids. The solution? An easy-to-use configurator, that not only helps design the system, but creates one-lines, BOMs, does power flow quantification and analysis, and creates a true digital twin that can guide operational, economic, upgrade, and maintenance decisions. This presentation will describe and demonstrate just such a "microgrid configurator."
