2. Agile / Fractal Grid
• Concept: a grid that where distributed generators
can integrate with and island from each other
and the broader grid.
• Approach: develop common / shared methods
for grid control so that different areas of control
can communicate with each other without the
development of custom interfaces
• Principle: the method of control should be the
same at different scales, from building
automation and industrial controls, to
distribution to generation and transmission.
