Performance Validation

The Microgrid Development Center is an advanced systems engineering facility that offers a holistic approach to testing new technologies and solutions. Lockheed Martin’s Microgrid Development Center (MDC) offers a holistic approach to power systems design. The MDC helps our customers and partners in industry analyze and verify the impact of new technologies on microgrid system performance. This is achieved through industry-leading systems engineering processes, a world-class simulation and visualization center, and software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop integration experience.

Lockheed Martin is already applying its renowned systems engineering expertise in tackling such challenges through programs like the the Integrated Smart BEAR Power System (ISBPS), the Hybrid Intelligent Power (HI Power), and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP)  microgrid systems, and partnerships similar to the sublicense agreement with Ideal Power Converters and Polarity.
