Work Package D : "Development
of Emergency Functions"
Work Package Leader

Partners involved :
ICCS, SMA, UMIST, EPRI, EDF
Objectives :
The main
objective of this WP is to develop the control strategies that will be
adopted in the MicroGrid when the systems becomes isolated or has to deal
with a local Black Start situation.
When failures
occur in the MV or HV system, the distribution network may break into
isolated “islands”, each of which must be supplied by itself. With an
intelligent distributed approach where the micro controllers (MC and LC)
will act, in a very fast way, as independent agents and making an efficient
use of the local resources, it will be possible to maintain system operation
in an islanding condition.
If a black
out takes place, a local black start will be tried, exploiting the communication
capabilities and a centralized approach housed in the MicroGrid Central
Controller, together with control rules embedded in the local controllers.
These Black
Start functions contribute to assure an important advantage for power
system operation in terms of reliability as a result from the presence
of a very large amount of dispersed generation.
