Electric Generator Modeling and Automatic Generation Controller

Avista Utilities is building a microgrid within the downtown area of Spokane, Washington. In the event of a natural or manmade disaster, Avista wants to build a self-sustaining and self-contained small power system using the two hydroelectric generators downtown in Spokane, some renewable energy sources, large batteries, and a control system to make the microgrid work in a stable and reliable fashion. The design methods for doing this are well known and there are a number of microgrids in existence, but there are unique things to each different microgrid.
