Micro-grid:Commanded Shutdown, Ramp-Up and Ramp-Down While GridInterconnected

[rima.eee]

Advanced microgrids, connected to a primary energy source such as a utility electricity distribution
system, will have built-in algorithms and communications for shutdown, start-up, and curtailment.
Each of these functionalities may also be commanded when the stability or voltage regulation of a
section of distribution line is in danger of drifting out of specification because a load/distribution
mismatch. Adequate communications methods will be necessary for these conditions.
Commanded shutdown that overrides normal shutdown processes will not be as likely, but if
intermittent renewable energy sources such as PV are linked into the system there may be a need for
curtailment, commanded startup slew rates, and energy-storage interactions.
