OPENFMB™ MICROGRID DEMONSTRATIONS
Figure 4: Cartoon describes OpenFMB™ Phase 1 demonstration
The OpenFMB microgrid demonstration is based on a simple microgrid design with a solar array,
a battery, and no rotating mass. Figure 5 shows the electrical “one line diagram” of the microgrid
and the basic components. The Open Field Message Bus allows machine-to-machine
communication in the field to support the three use cases of unscheduled islanding, microgrid
optimization in islanded mode, and island-to-grid transition.
