Control and Monitor MicrogridsAn NI Industrial IoT Lab Demonstration
Microgrid topologies offer several advantages over large traditional grids including increased resiliency and easier integration of distributed renewables. But to reap these benefits, you need to overcome some challenges. The microgrid testbed focuses on open technology that can help monitor and control a microgrid at the edge while maintaining scalability and interoperability between different vendors and protocol standards.
