Work Package C : "Development of MicroGrid Central Controller"


Work Package Leader : ICCS

Partners involved :  EDF, PPC, SMA, INECS, ISET, ARMINES, LABEIN, EPRI

Objectives :

During the grid connected mode, the Micro Grid Central Controller must optimize the local production capabilities. To perform this, the MicroGrid Central Controller considers the interactions of the local Micro source Controllers, the Micro Grid Central Controller and the Distribution Management System. The MicroGrid Controller uses information on local electrical and heating needs, electricity and gas costs, wholesale/retail service needs, special grid needs, demand-side management requests, congestion levels, etc. to determine the amount of power that the MicroGrid should draw from the distribution system.

The MicroGrid Controller will collect information from the micro sources and critical loads and will automatically perform operations management of the MicroGrid including its mode of operation (autonomous/non-autonomous) exploiting the capabilities of these sources and loads, namely the controllability aspects, since also some loads are not controllable. Coordination with the central DMS system must also be considered.
