Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) User Guide Software v1.2.

The Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) supports decision analysis for new ("greenfield") microgrid designs as well as microgrids with existing infrastructure. The current version of MDT includes two main capabilities. The first capability, the Microgrid Sizing Capability (MSC), is used to determine the size and composition of a new, grid connected microgrid in the early stages of the design process. MSC is focused on developing a microgrid that is economically viable when connected to the grid. The second capability is focused on designing a microgrid for operation in islanded mode. This second capability relies on two models: the Technology Management Optimization (TMO) model and Performance Reliability Model (PRM).

Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) User Guide Software (V.1.1)

The Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) most readily supports decision analysis for new ("greenfield") microgrid designs, but can also be used to evaluate microgrids with existing infrastructure under some limitations. The current version of MDT includes two main capabilities. The first capability, the Microgrid Sizing Capability (MSC), is used to determine the size and composition of a new microgrid in the early stages of the design process. MSC is focused on developing a microgrid that is economically viable when connected to the grid. The second capability is focused on refining a microgrid design for operation in islanded mode. This second capability relies on two models: the Technology Management Optimization (TMO) model and Performance Reliability Model (PRM).

Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) Technical Documentation and Component Summaries

The Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) is a decision support software tool for microgrid designers to use during the microgrid design process. The models that support the two main capabilities in MDT are described. The first capability, the Microgrid Sizing Capability (MSC), is used to determine the size and composition of a new microgrid in the early stages of the design process. MSC is a mixed-integer linear program that is focused on developing a microgrid that is economically viable when connected to the grid. The second capability is focused on refining a microgrid design for operation in islanded mode. This second capability relies on two models: the Technology Management Optimization (TMO) model and Performance Reliability Model (PRM). TMO uses a genetic algorithm to create and refine a collection of candidate microgrid designs. It uses PRM, a simulation based reliability model, to assess the performance of these designs. TMO produces a collection of microgrid designs that perform well with respect to one or more performance metrics.

Microgrid Design Toolkit (MDT) User Guide: Software v1.4

The MDT is a decision support software that can provide the information needed to identify optimal microgrid designs in the early stages of the design process. MDT searches the trade space of alternative microgrid designs in terms of user-defined objectives, such as performance, reliability, and cost. It produces a Pareto frontier of solutions embodying the efficient tradeoffs amongst multiple user-defined objectives.
