January 25, 2018 Slide 2
– Provident Sunworth housing complex has a collective loads of around actual load of around 249kW which includes both resistive and inductive loads.
– Majority of these loads are inductive in nature which is consumed by WTP and STP
– Provident Sunworth group wants to install around 100kWp solar microgrid power plant in phase1, in order to reduce its electricity bill and to reduce the Diesel consumption during power cuts
– The solar power plant will be installed on a 10 feet elevated structure in order to utilize the space underneath.
– This will be a flag ship projects.
Introduction
Some of the facility includes for both phase-1 & phase-2: Such as Club House, Amenity Area Lighting & WTP These are the major contributors for maintenance charges in form of electricity bills for common area

Operating modes of MGS100
Block Diagram MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 11
On-Grid modes – Normal operating mode – Power export mode – Battery charge mode
• Charging from solar • Charging from grid
Off-grid modes – Normal mode – Battery charge mode – Limit mode Night mode – Battery hold mode – Battery charge mode
Night off-grid mode Recovery Modes – Deep discharge mode – Battery recovery mode
Operating modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 12
On-Grid modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 13
Normal operating mode – Grid = Available – Solar = Available – Load power>Solar power – Battery charge = 100%
Grid and solar will be supporting the loads in this condition. Power drawn
from the grid will be Grid=Load-Solar. Battery charge will be
reserved in this condition.
Note: “Grid” can be BESCOM grid or from any AC generator (DG or Biomass)
On-Grid modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 14
Power export mode – Grid = Available – Solar = Available – Solar power>Load power – Battery charge = 100%
Loads will be completely supported by solar. Excess solar power will be exported to grid. Please note this
mode must be disabled in case DG/AC Generator is used as the source
Note: Power export can be disabled (Settable parameter)
Battery Charge Modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 15
Charging from solar – Grid = Available – Solar = Available – Solar power>Load power – Battery charge < 100%
In this mode, complete load will be supported by solar. Excess solar power will be used to charge the
battery through bi-directional converter.
Battery Charge Modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 16
Charging from Grid – Grid = Available – Solar = Available – Load power>Solar power – Battery charge < 100%
In this mode, load will be supported by solar and grid. Grid power is also used to charge the battery. Power drawn from the grid is, Grid=Load-
Solar+Battery charging power
Note: MGS100 has two independent charging paths 1. Grid to Battery 2. Solar to battery
Off-Grid Modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 17
Normal mode – Grid = Not Available – Solar = Available – Load power>Solar power – Battery charge < 100%
In this mode, load will be supported by solar and battery. Power drawn from battery will be, Battery=Load-
Solar
Note: “Evening Priority**” mode could be activated for off-grid only systems
**In Evening priority mode, priority will be given to charge the battery during daytime so that loads could be powered from battery during night time. During daytime, loads will be catered by solar only if Battery>90% in this mode
Off-Grid Modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 18
Battery charge mode – Grid = Not Available – Solar = Available – Solar power>Load power – Battery charge < 100%
In this mode, the loads will be completely supported by solar. The excess solar power will be used to
charge the batteries.
Off-Grid Modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 19
Limit mode – Grid = Not Available – Solar = Available – Solar power>Load power – Battery charge = 100%
In this mode, the loads will be completely supported by solar. The excess solar power will be limited (Clipped off) in order to maintain
stability in the system. The generation from Solar=Load
Note: The same “limit mode” will be active in case DG/BM is connected for ensuring no reverse power flow to generator
Recovery Modes MGS100 Microgrid System
January 25, 2018 Slide 20
Deep discharge mode – Grid = Not Available – Solar = Not Available – Battery charge < %AbsMin
(Absolute Minimum)
In this mode, from the night off-grid mode battery continues to discharge
and support the loads until the battery charge % reaches a setpoint, AbsMin (Absolute
Minimum). Once the battery reaches %AbsMin, all the loads will be dropped in order to protect the
batteries and keep the control circuit active

Grid-tied Vs Microgrid Solar Microgrid Proposal for Provident Sunworth
January 25, 2018 Slide 32
– Usually consists of a simple, passive DC-AC inverter which will convert input DC from solar PV to output AC
– It cannot work without absence of grid – System can synchronize with DG however it can backfeed to DG
and can damage the DG (Need additional sophisticated controllers for proper operation)
– There will be interruption to the loads during power cut, until DG is turned ON and synchronized
– System has no control over the sources, it will just synchronize and pump power to grid
– System is cheaper. As there is no controller or batteries – System suitable for MW scale projects and locations with no
powercuts – Solar penetration will be limited to base load
– It consists of several converters like charger, rectifier, bi-directional converter in addition to DC-AC inverter
– It can work islanded, even with absence of grid or DG – System can synchronize with DG and will never back feed to DG. It
also maintains required minimum load on DG – There will be no interruption to the loads during power cut. DG can
be turned ON only if required. Can work islanded – System is intelligent. Has control over the loads and sources. It
gives priority to ‘cheapest’ sources first then to costly sources (DG) – System is costly as there is a sophisticated controller, charger,
rectifier and batteries. Also reduces peak demand of the grid – Suitable for smaller plants of any scale – Solar penetration can be upto peak load
