The advanced microgrid contains several distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar power plants, electric vehicles, buildings, a combined heat and power gas-fired power plant, and electric and thermal storage. Most datasets contain 15-min averages of real and reactive power from 1 January, 2015 until 29 February, 2020.
Microgrids comprising renewable energy technologies are often modelled and optimised from a theoretical point of view. Verification of theoretical systems with data of actually implemented systems in the field rarely occurs in an open manner, especially on the intermediate scale of research buildings.
The microgrid operates a natural gas fired combined heat & power plant that provides district heating and cooling to most buildings on the campus. The plant consists of two 13.5 MW natural gas turbines, a steam generator, electric chillers, and a chilled water tank for thermal energy storage.
The main components of interest in the microgrid to this study are the four arrays of solar panels, a lead-acid battery, and a pyranometer (see Fig. 1). There is also a backup power generator, which can be initiated during emergency power failures, although this has not occurred during the period of data recording.
