Abstract :
A method to quantitatively predict performance of distributed power systems (DPS) is presented. A small-scale prototype system is proposed that can be used to predict the performance of the large full-scale DPS. Two experimental implementations of the design procedure are discussed, each with different accuracy and complexity. Experiments verify that the small-scale prototypes provide performance benchmarks for the full-scale DPS
