This presentation will review the development of a Smart Grid Master Plan for NC State Centennial campus. The smart grid projects evaluated included distributed generation, grid resiliency and security, energy optimization, smart grid control system, and research support. The study identified how to integrate and optimize the existing power distribution system, campus district energy systems, and building automation systems to reduce energy consumption by more than 15% and improve grid reliability while providing a short payback.
