4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Teaching Microgrid System"

How do you optimize a microgrid design?

Optimizing a microgrid design to meet a facility owner/operator's specific resilience targets — whether in hours, days, or weeks— usually is accomplished by 1) reducing the amount of load the system needs to serve for some or all of the resilience period; 2) increasing energy generation and storage capacity; or both.

What makes a microgrid unique?

From our experiences at Mayfield Renewables, we'll stipulate that most microgrids share these four features – all within a defined boundary: Distributed energy resources (DERs): local (on-site) energy storage and generation sources that can function independently from the centralized, bulk power supply infrastructure.

What is a microgrid?

Notice also that a simpler system consisting of loads, a generator, and proper controls for islanding capabilities could meet this four-part definition of a microgrid. This working definition is intentionally open-ended to accommodate all possible DER combinations.

Can a microgrid controller shed a load?

When the time is right, a microgrid controller, contactors/relays, and subsystem controllers can be programmed and coordinated to shed predetermined 'sheddable' loads in order to keep the most important loads powered. Consider load shedding based on battery state of charge (SOC) as one example, shown below.
