4 FAQs about Santiago microgrid operation

What is a microgrid?

The DOE defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the power grid.

What will microgrids do in 2035?

By 2035, microgrids are envisioned to be essential building blocks of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience, decarbonization, and affordability. Microgrids will be increasingly important for integration and aggregation of high penetration distributed energy resources.

How can a microgrid controller be integrated with a distribution management system?

First, the microgrid controller can be integrated with the utility's distribution management system (DMS) directly in the form of centralized management. Second, the microgrid controller can be integrated indirectly using decentralized management via a Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS).

How can microgrids improve the reliability of distribution and transmission systems?

One approach to producing this technology is to demonstrate how microgrids, especially networked microgrids, can help to improve the reliability of distribution and transmission systems by providing them with reserves, i.e., capacity reserve, operational reserve, regulation reserve, etc.
