Heila Microgrid Controller Validation Using CUBE: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-17-663

This CRADA facilitates validation of the Heila IQ controller (microgrid controller) using NREL's Consolidated Utility Base Energy (CUBE) hardware platform. The CUBE microgrid platform includes power electronics and controls to integrate PV, battery, and diesel generator assets to serve a common load. The Heila IQ controller includes algorithms to manage and optimize these assets and will be used as the dispatch-level controller for the CUBE. Heila will use the CUBE platform in a number of use cases that will benefit commercialization of the Heila IQ controller.
