Microgrids - Planning, protection, operation and automation

This application manual is provided to you by Totally Integrated Power - Shaping the future of electrical planning in real and digital worlds.

In times when the reliability of the public power grid can be compromised by various factors, the concept of autonomy is becoming increasingly important. Autonomous power supply systems are capable of maintaining power to their own facilities for a defined period of time in the event of a grid failure or a complete blackout in the public grid. Microgrids enable grid-independent island operation, but they require in-depth electrical engineering expertise and well-designed system integration. This application manual provides the technical fundamentals for planning, protection, operating and automation of a microgrid and demonstrates the practical implementation using a logistics center as an example.
