Smart Grid Interface Protection System
Next level solutions
The smart grid is evolving towards distributed energy resources (DER) where the generation of renewables or storage systems is connected to the grid, at distribution level, microgrid (a group of predefined DER with loads that can be operated in islanded mode or connected to the grid) and Virtual Power Plant (aggregated system of energy assets).
Managing bidirectional flow in such applications is complex but necessary. It is often tedious with complicated protection scheme. This whitepaper outlines the requirements and what is necessary to be successful in designing smart grid applications.
