CONTROLLER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLIED FROM A SMALL POWER SOURCE TO A POWER GRID

摘要

A controller (4) and method are usable to control the provision of electrical power from a local electrical network (8) to a power grid (12). If it is determined (106) that changes in the power grid voltage are correlated with the provision of power to the power grid, the power that is being provided to the power grid is manipulated so that the rate of change of the wattage that is provided to the power grid does not exceed a predetermined ramp rate. Such a manipulation is accomplished by adjusting (122) an operational parameter of one or more electrical loads that are connected with the local electrical network.
