Develop plug and play architecture for Tactical power grids

Executive Summary This proposal describes the methodology for applying architecture and intelligent control algorithms to enable plug-and-play capabilities for tactical power grids. The Intelligent Power & Energy Research Corporation (IPERC) and Infotility have developed a modeling system specifically designed for facilitating the implementation of sophisticated control for power generating systems with interdependencies. The software will demonstrate an ability to make repeatable decisions based on complex relationships between large amounts of measured and estimated data; a task difficult, especially when the relationships can consist of multiple pieces of equipment where one piece of equipment can influence “downstream” devices. The software will be able to represent the steady-state and dynamic performance and can rapidly evaluate different operating configurations to determine the best mode under a variety of operating conditions.
