A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode. Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances.
Alarms and sequences of events related to management of distributed energy resources and the microgrid's electrical distribution can be displayed in EcoStruxure Microgrid Operation Human Machine Interface (HMI). Historical and live electrical data can be displayed as trends in EcoStruxure Microgrid Operation and Microgrid Advisor.
Cloud-based EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor aggregates data from EcoStruxure Microgrid Operation as well as other inputs, including energy pricing and weather data, to define the optimal time to consume or produce energy from DERs. Control commands can be relayed back to the on-site controller to initiate actions automatically.
There are also various types of microgrid monitoring and control systems. For large scale (installed power > 100 kW) microgrid, its monitoring system and control system is more complex, usually using independent servers, workstations, remote terminal units, and others.
