Energy storage may be used to backup and buffer traditional generation sources during down times or when transient loads are deployed. Coupling intelligent control with energy storage will ensure that efficiency, reliability, and power quality can be maintained. At the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), a hardware testbed has been installed to study one zone of a conceptual power system architecture. It has AC and DC distributed power sources operating in the few hundreds of kW range and loads at 4160 VAC, 480 VAC, 1 kVDC, 6 kVDC, and 12 kVDC respectively. Transient loads are emulated by modulating the installed power sources into resistive load banks. UTA is collaborating with Clarkson University (CU) and Florida State University (FSU) to extend the testbed virtually using a hardware in the loop (HIL) platform and to demonstrate robust power system control using Simulink desktop real-time. This paper will discuss the collaborative efforts and provide some results collected. 000010719 542__ $$fCC-BY 000010719 6531_ $$aMicrogrid 000010719 6531_ $$aMedium-Voltage Power Distribution 000010719 6531_ $$aPower System Control 000010719 6531_ $$aPower Electronics 000010719 6531_ $$aEnergy Storage 000010719 7001_ $$aTschritter, C$$uUniversity of Texas at Arlington 000010719 7001_ $$aJohnston, A$$uUniversity of Texas at Arlington 000010719 7001_ $$aVu, L$$uClarkson University 000010719 7001_ $$aNguyen, T$$uClarkson University 000010719 7001_ $$aWetz, D$$uUniversity of Texas at Arlington 000010719 7001_ $$aVu, T$$uClarkson University 000010719 7001_ $$aLangston, J$$uFlorida State University 000010719 7001_ $$aRavindra, H$$uFlorida State University 000010719 7001_ $$aStanovich, M$$uFlorida State University 000010719 7001_ $$aSchoder, K$$uFlorida State University 000010719 7001_ $$aSteurer, M$$uFlorida State University 000010719 7001_ $$aSchegan, C$$uUS Naval Surface Warfare Centre 000010719 7001_ $$aHeinzel, J$$uUS Naval Surface Warfare Centre 000010719 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of iSCSS 000010719 773__ $$jiSCSS 2022 000010719 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/events/category/categories/imarest-event/international-ship-control-systems-symposium-2022$$yConference website 000010719 8564_ $$9ca7749d7-e750-427e-b359-cfd8aaacc528$$s2574720$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/10719/files/10719.pdf 000010719 980__ $$aConference Proceedings
