This page introduces the DIPS (Distributed and Intelligent Power Systems) platform. DIPS is one outcome of the development of the Monash Microgrid, as part of the Net Zero Initiative. It provides a lens into the Clayton campus of Monash University, whereby distributed energy resources (DERs), outside of performing their operational role in decarbonizing Monash’s operations, appear as instruments in a research laboratory. The campus is then a research environment for performing experiments on “smarts” coordinating DERs.
