Outcomes, Insights, and Best Practices from IIC Testbeds: Microgrid Testbed
future. The Microgrid Testbed scales the
traditional technology down to the smallest
of power systems, enabling an architecture
of small, efficient microgrids connected into
a larger, intelligent IIoT system. Their work
together is speeding time-to-market for
many of these technologies. Through their
connections within the IIC ecosystem, the
testbed team continues to discover new
technologies which may provide valuable
contributions to the testbed. The Microgrid
Testbed’s influence is already recognized in
the contributions to the IIRA, enhancing that
document for others and benefiting from the
collective wisdom of those who authored
the IIRA, in a circular loop of knowledge and
feedback.
The Microgrid Testbed is fostering the
important discussions around the many
different standards and the complexities
along the technology stack. The testbed
participants’ connections with IEEE and Avnu
Alliance have created a very valuable
feedback loop on TSN applications in energy.
The end users who have joined the testbed
and those who will join in the future will find
the true value of the testbed.
