Microgrid Control System
A microgrid control system is defined as an integral component of a microgrid that utilizes a communication system to manage and monitor its operation, ensuring safe, secure, reliable,
Each controller manages real-time control systems that monitor the operating conditions of the power distribution network. The distribution system within a microgrid relies on the precise integration of all components, ensuring power is delivered where and when needed.
Microgrids are also all dynamic systems, the power being produced by the DERs changes depending on several factors – another reason why they require a controller. A microgrid controller will communicate with the battery management system, generator controls, solar inverters, and even third-party systems that a customer might add.
