XENDEE and Idaho National Laboratory Partner on Microgrid Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Stations
Summary
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XENDEE Corporation has partnered with Idaho National Laboratory to develop an optimized platform for designing Microgrid Fast Charging Stations (MFCS) quickly and effectively. Each test site will be developed using XENDEE’s end-to-end Microgrid design and optimization platform as well as Idaho National Laboratory’s Power & Energy Real-Time Lab. XENDEE researchers and engineers will design the Microgrid Fast Charging Stations, including the sizing and placement of Distributed Energy Resources technologies, techno-economic optimization, and power flow analysis to assure voltages can be sustained at every node. Once a design has been created, the XENDEE MFCS model will be validated using Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations of the dynamics and operation on the distribution system at Idaho National Laboratorys Power & Energy Real-time Lab. This simulated loop will evaluate XENDEE’s Microgrid model using actual control components under the most vigorous testing conditions without constructing a completed fast charging station.
