Senior Design Team SD36 • Making Microgrids Plug and Play
Project Overview
Everyone needs electricity. Microgrid pallets provide a mobile, modular power solution that can be applied to many use cases. Choice use cases are natural disaster relief, tactical deployment for military operations, or replacing gasoline powered generators. Currently, connecting these pallets is time consuming and requires technical expertise specific to these devices.
The goal of our project is to simplify the connection and configuration of pallets so that minimal to no training at all is required to use them. An extension of the project is to allow communication from the pallets to any connected electric grid and provide additional services.
