The speaker will be Tim Allman\, Systems Engineer\, Cummins\, Inc.\n\nAs commercial and industrial power s ystems are evolving to a mix of low- and no-carbon technologies\, careful and extensive testing is required to understand the unique impacts that th ese will have. It was clear that this unique challenge needed a unique and flexible approach to developing microgrid system technologies without imp acting the critical operations of our customers. A unique tool that Cummin s brings to meet this challenge is the Power Integration Center (PIC) – A multi-asset\, configurable microgrid test lab.\n\nThe primary role of th e Power Integration Center is to serve as a scale representation of a cust omer power system which allows live microgrid testing in a controlled\, an d de-risked\, environment. Critically\, this is achieved through a configu rable power system that can be changed to operate in a variety of electric al topologies without any additional installation work.\n\nStrategy and fu nding discussions for building the PIC began in earnest in 2018\, and the detailed design for the facility took place primarily in 2019. Constructio n of the facility began in 2020\, with substantial completion of the build phase in November of 2021. In the first half of 2022\, all major systems in the lab were commissioned and validated for operation. Following the fo rmal opening of the lab in August of 2022\, the facility is now officially open and operating as a test platform for complex microgrids.\n\nAs the p ower industry continues to evolve\, so too will the capacities of the Powe r Integration Center. Expansion work is already in place in the areas of h ydrogen fuel infrastructure (both for consumption and generation)\, as wel l as DC-coupled microgrid opportunities.\n\nThis presentation will showcas e the Power Integration Center’s capabilities via virtual tour and live demonstration.\n\nAgenda: \nTime: Presentation will be from 6:00 to 7:00 p m\n\nPlace: Virtual Technical Meeting via WebEx\n\nRSVP: Please make reser vations by October 25 by registering via vTools for WebEx Login informatio n.\n\nCost: Registration is Free\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.or g/m/376125 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/376125 ORGANIZER:lmsq@pge.com SEQUENCE:22 SUMMARY:Cummins – Power Integration Center URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/376125 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong><u>Meeting Description:</u></stron g></p>\n<p>Please plan to attend this virtual meeting of the Industry Appl ications Society.
