<p>This page introduces the DIPS (Distributed and Intelligent Power Systems) platform. DIPS is one outcome of the development of the <a href="https://www.monash.edu/net-zero-initiative/facilities/microgrid" target="_blank">Monash Microgrid</a>, as part of the <a href="https://www.monash.edu/net-zero-initiative" target="_blank">Net Zero Initiative</a>. 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. </p>
