6 FAQs about [Distributed Generation and Microgrid Safety Regulations]
How many distributed generation and microgrid standards are there?
In this review, the state of the art of 23 distributed generation and microgrids standards has been analyzed. Among these standards, 18 correspond mainly to distributed generation while five of them introduce the concept of microgrid.
Why do we need a standard system for microgrids and distributed energy resources?
The prosperity of microgrids and distributed energy resources (DER) promotes the standardization of multiple technologies. A sound and applicable standard system will facilitate the development of renewable energy and provide great guiding significance for technology globalization.
What are the International microgrid standards?
Thus, many international microgrid standards are still being developed, several standards are on-going drafting by IEEE and IEC organization, such as self-regulation of dispatchable loads, monitoring and control systems, energy management systems and use case design.
Are energy storage devices regulated in a microgrid?
For instance, in the first microgrid standard IEEE 1547.4, the electrical energy storage (EES) is solely regarded as a type of DER to be regulated without specific technical requirements. However, energy storage devices have gradually become a critical part of microgrid in terms of planning and operation stages [42, 43].
What policies have been implemented to promote the development and adoption of microgrids?
Several countries have implemented policies to promote the development and adoption of microgrids. In the United States, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has implemented Order-2222 , establishing rules enabling microgrids to participate in wholesale energy markets.
What is a microgrid control system?
Microgrid control systems: typically, microgrids are managed through a central controller that coordinates distributed energy resources, balances electrical loads, and is responsible for disconnection and reconnection of the microgrid to the main grid. Load: the amount of electricity consumed by customers.
