IEEE Recommended Practice for the Planning and Design of the Microgrid
General
The factors that should be taken into account for planning and designing microgrids are covered in this recommended practice. It provides approaches and good practices to be considered in the planning and design, including system configuration, electrical system design, safety, power quality monitoring and control, electric energy measurement and scheme evaluation. This recommended practice applies to ac microgrids that can be either grid-connected or standalone microgrids.
Scope
This recommended practice focuses on factors that should be taken into account for planning and designing microgrids. It provides approaches and good practices relevant to planning and designing considerations such as power generation prediction, load forecast, micro-sources configuration, system architecture, grounding, protection and information exchange. This recommended practice applies to AC, DC or hybrid microgrid that can be either grid-connected microgrid or islanded microgrid.
Purpose
This project aims at the standardization of the microgrid design and planning process, the technical requirement specification of microgrid design and the evaluation of the microgrid planning scheme. The implementation of the proposed recommended practice will enhance the safe, reliable and economic operation of microgrid.
