Micro-Inverter Based AC-Coupled Photovoltaic Microgrid System with Wireless Smart-Grid Controls

摘要

A microgrid and methods for managing the microgrid are disclosed. A microgrid controller may determine an amount of energy generated by each of a plurality of distributed energy resources connected to the microgrid. The microgrid controller may determine an amount of energy required to power each of a plurality of loads connected to the microgrid. The microgrid controller may alter, based on the determined amount of energy generated by the each of the plurality of distributed energy resources and the amount of energy required to power each of the plurality of loads connected to the microgrid, a status of at least one of the plurality of loads connected to the microgrid.
