The Issue
Project Innovation
This project will demonstrate an on-farm mobile microgrid concept, which involves bidirectional charging of battery-electric agricultural tractors to support loads during outages, participate in demand response, and load shift in response to time of use tariffs. The project will develop high power discharge capabilities for the electric tractor, integrate bidirectional chargers with on-farm electrical service points, and manage charging and loads in several grid integration use cases.
