Ropp, Michael E.; Lavrova, Olga L.; Ranade, Satish R.; Ramoko, Ada R.; Valdez, Cindy V.

This report describes a Late-Start LDRD project on a self-healing power systems (SHePS) concept called SHAZAM. SHAZAM is designed to solve difficult challenges associated with creation of self-assembling, self-networking microgrids without high-speed networked communications. The report describes the SHAZAM concept, outlines the development of modeling tools and infrastructure supported by the Late-Start LDRD, gives examples of simulation results obtained to date, and discusses conclusions and proposed future work.
