Energy and Supply Security in Multi-Microgrid Systems: A Comprehensive Research Project

The Energy and Supply Security project focuses on analyzing and optimizing multi-microgrid systems to enhance energy resilience and reliability. Led by R. Iravani from the University of Toronto, this research addresses the integration of diverse energy sources such as PV, wind, and storage systems, while ensuring minimal outages and disturbances. Through predictive control models and innovative communication strategies, the project aims to establish effective control systems for various microgrids and tackle significant regulatory and technical challenges. Collaborative efforts with key industrial partners will advance standardization and operational integrity in microgrid management.
