This paper is a work-in-progress, describing our development of an open source, low voltage, and low-cost microgrid hardware platform that may be used for experiments in solar and wind generation and distribution. . The Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) is a national user facility located in Golden, Colorado, on the campus of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). NREL's megawatt-scale controller- and power-hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL/PHIL) capabilities allow researchers and manufacturers to. . This paper describes efforts to integrate advanced approaches in microgrid, test-rig emulators and real time simulation into early postgraduate and undergraduate engineering education. The second one a solid-state inverter-based microgrid. At the San Diego Gas & Electric Company Borrego Springs. . on climate change. However, most re-newable energy sources, such as solar nd wind, have very high initial costs, especially when used as a principal source.
