In this paper, we present a robust and decen-tralised optimisation algorithm implemented in a dis-tributed manner for finding the best setup configura-tion for the devices in a microgrid. NREL's megawatt-scale controller- and power-hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL/PHIL) capabilities allow researchers and manufacturers to. . Microgrids are localized energy systems capable of operating autonomously or in conjunction with the main grid. This work presents: 1) an overview of the laboratory-scale microgrid equipment at Drexel, 2) upgrades to the distribution energy management system in the Reconfigurable Distribution Automation & Control. . The integration of autonomous robots with intelligent electrical systems introduces complex energy management challenges, particularly as microgrids increasingly incorporate renewable energy sources and storage devices in widely distributed environments. However, forecasts bring uncertainty, which is. .
