This document is a report on testing conducted with a Battery Energy Storage System (ESS) connected to the CERTS Microgrid Test Bed, located at American Electric Power{\textquoteright}s Walnut Test Site in Groveport, OH. The testing is designed to demonstrate the ESS{\textquoteright}s conformity to the CERTS control methodology and to properly interact with the existing CERTS compatible distributed energy resources.
A CERTS microgrid utilizes a set of control algorithms common to distributed energy resources which allows for system wide stability within rated conditions without a requirement for direct communications between devices.\ This type of network, peer-to-peer and plug and play, creates no dependencies as in master-slave control architectures allowing for high system flexibility and reliability.
