Resilient Microgrids for Rural Clinics

Designing fault-tolerant solar microgrids that keep cold-chain vaccine storage and diagnostics running through grid failure in remote clinics.

PI · Dr. Hassan BelloDr. Hassan Bello, T. Lindqvist

Objectives

  • Develop a predictive load-shedding controller
  • Pilot at four off-grid clinics
  • Open-source the controller firmware

Methodology

Hardware-in-the-loop simulation of clinic load profiles feeding a reinforcement-learning dispatch controller, validated in staged field pilots.
