Title: Systems and methods for regulating a microgrid

Abstract

A microgrid system includes one or more power generators configured to provide electrical energy. The microgrid system also includes a localized distribution network coupled to the one or more power generators, coupled to the one or more loads, and coupled to an external grid. The microgrid system further includes a microgrid controller configured to predict microgrid demand for the one or more loads for a predetermined period of time. The microgrid controller is also configured to receive demand information for the external grid for the predetermined period of time. The microgrid controller is further configured to determine an operation plan for the one or more power generators based on the predicted microgrid demand and the received demand information. Moreover, the microgrid controller is configured to determine a schedule to transmit electrical energy to the external grid based on the operation plan.

Patent Wang, Fei; Li, Dingrui; Liu, Yilu; ...

Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for protecting and controlling a microgrid with a dynamic boundary are disclosed. One method includes detecting a fault in a microgrid that includes a dynamic point-of-common-coupling (PCC), in response to determining that the microgrid is operating in a grid-connected mode, isolating the fault by tripping a microgrid side smart switch and a grid side smart switch that are located immediately adjacent to the fault, initiating the reclosing of the grid side smart switch, and initiating the reclosing for the microgrid side smart switch via resynchronization if the grid side smart switch is successfully reclosed,more » « less
