Microgrid demonstration 28

What should be included in a microgrid demonstration period?

Demonstration of the microgrid includes the final performance measurement and validation procedures. The microgrid demonstration period should include a variety of scenarios to demonstrate the functionality of the system. High level examples are list below.

What are the basic features of a microgrid?

Microgrids generally have four basic features: (1) “Micro”, microgrid voltage levels are generally below 10 kV (kilovolts), the system scale is generally MW (megawatt) level or smaller, the grid is connected with end users, and the electric energy provided in the microgrid is typically used locally.

What is microgrid simulation?

First, microgrid simulation has evolved from traditional power system-based simulation and optimization to comprehensive power and thermal energy integration modeling. The integration of power with simulation modeling provides users systematic modeling capabilities in a microgrid system to address complex energy demand and generation requirements.

How has microgrid policy evolved?

From the initial encouragement and promotion of the development of microgrids, microgrid policy has evolved towards demonstrating the practice of comprehensive energy storage technology applications, creating conditions for the further promotion of microgrid construction.

How can a microgrid be used in a large grid?

Flexible parallel operation modes between microgrids and the large grid can allow microgrids to play the roles of peak shaving and valley filling in the daily and weekly demand curves so that the power generation equipment over the entire grid can be fully utilized.
