The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) to design, develop, deploy, and demonstrate a state-of-the-art “Microgrid-Integrated Solar-Storage Technology” (MISST) in the Bronzeville Community Microgrid (BCM) of Chicago, IL. The MISST involves utilizing smart inverters for solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage along with enhancing the existing microgrid master controller (MMC), a software platform which allows for these resources to work synergistically with other microgrid components. The overarching aim of the project is to address availability and variability issues inherent in solar PV technology.
