Training Outlines

Introduction

Microgrids coordinate local generation, storage and controllable loads to operate with the utility grid or independently during disturbances. Their performance depends on integrated electrical design, stable controls, protection adaptability and clearly defined operating transitions.

This course develops a complete microgrid engineering workflow. Participants will characterise loads, size distributed resources, design primary and supervisory controls, coordinate grid-connected and islanded protection, and evaluate resilience, economics and commissioning requirements.

Objectives

Define microgrid boundaries and operating objectives
Model critical and flexible load requirements
Size distributed generation and storage resources
Apply primary, secondary and tertiary control
Manage grid-connected and islanded transitions
Coordinate protection across changing fault levels
Evaluate resilience and lifecycle economics
Develop testing and commissioning procedures
