Microgrid Management System (μGMS)!

A μG is a modified power distribution
network that can be a part of the grid or
independently generate, distribute, and regulate the flow of electricity to meet
consumer demands.
It can operate either grid connected or islanded and, if
required, can switch between the two.
μGMS is a specially-designed software tool that interacts with utility signals & coordinates communication between μG components in
order to meet microgrid objectives.

Standard Resilience Terms
• Resilience Withstand attacks, Recover from attacks, Adapt to changing conditions, Prevent future attacks proactively.
• Resilience Quantification Codifying the methods and approaches of studying, operating and designing resilient microgrid.
• Resilience MetricA “number” that eases comparison, optimization to implement most resilient configuration.
• Resilience Framework Generalization of approaches & metric so that all distribution systems can be assessed using this technology
Difference between Resilience & Reliability Metrics
14
Reliability metrics: measure of “implosions”
• Power system disruptions due to operational limitation of utility, machinery damage, momentary outages.
• Does not consider events which are not fault of utilities (like, superstorms)
• Computed over long time durations
Resilience Metrics: measure of “explosions”
• There are several natural and man-made threats constantly being made to circumvent ordinary protection systems and disrupt power system operation.
• Considers external events that disrupt power system operation
• Can be computed for near-term, real-time (operational), or over long time durations (planning)
