The UST Center for Microgrid Research and the UST Microgrid provide a unique venue for hands-on training, workforce development, and education. The UST Center for Microgrid Research received a $5.4 million grant by the Minnesota Department of Commerce to expand the Center and the UST microgrid. Previously, the microgrid was funded by a $2.1M grant from Xcel Energy through the MN State Renewable Development Fund. The microgrid is located in the University of ST Thomas campus in St Paul, Minnesota. The microgrid is connected to a 13.8-kV Xcel Energy feeder through a 13.8 kV/480V transformer. The UST microgrid is a 480Vac system that includes: 50 kWdc Solar Photovoltaic system, 125kW/390 kWh Enersys Lead-Acid battery bank, 50kW Cummins diesel generator, 320 kVA computer-controlled load, and two 125 kVA GTIB 125 Princeton Power inverters. The GTIB 125 inverters are: (1) capable of grid-forming and grid-following modes, and (2) have a power factor rating of 0 to 1 leading and lagging. The computer-controlled load bank is rated at 320 kVA (0.8-1.0 power factor lagging) controllable in steps of 1 kVA. The microgrid can seamlessly transition from grid-connected to island modes and vice versa. Moreover, the microgrid is equipped with indoor and outdoor third-party test bays at 3 phase (480Vac and 208 Vac) and single phase 120Vac power. The microgrid also includes multiple source emulator such as: 45 kWdc solar photovoltaic emulator, 100 kWdc battery emulator and a state-of-the-art Power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) system. The PHIL is made up of a 30 kVA power amplifier (Ametek MX30) and OPAL Real-time computers. The PHIL system is capable of emulating different source/load types according to computer models. High speed data acquisition equipment and power quality analyzers are also available. Considerable cost share available.

The AAUL operates the Urban Tech Jobs Program (UTJP) via TCA. UTJP is designed to create viable pathways for citizens disconnected from the workforce, to work in the technology, and other career sectors. TCA/UTJP is designed to be an accelerated training program that recruits primarily long-term unemployed adults, those out of work for an extended period of time, to prepare and place them in a fast paced, high demand environment while offering nationally recognized credentialed and or certification coursework with opportunities for paid work experience. A secondary target population consists of individuals who are under-employed.","Occupational Training – TWC certified training school "]
