What is PD IEC TS 62898‑2 – Microgrids about?
PD IEC TS 62898‑2 is an international standard that discusses guidelines for the operation of Microgrids. Microgrids provide dynamic responsiveness unprecedented for an energy resource.
The purpose of PD IEC TS 62898‑2 is to provide guidelines for the operation of microgrids. Microgrids considered in PD IEC TS 62898‑2 are alternating current (AC) electrical systems with loads and distributed energy resources (DER) at low or medium voltage levels.
NOTE: PD IEC TS 62898‑2 applies to the operation and control of microgrids, including:
- Operation modes and mode transfer
- Energy management system (EMS) and control of microgrids
- Communication and monitoring procedures
- Electrical energy storage
- Protection principle covering: principle for non-isolated microgrid, isolated microgrid, anti-islanding, synchronization and reclosing, power quality
- Commissioning, maintenance and test
NOTE: PD IEC TS 62898‑2 does not cover direct current (DC) microgrids.
Who is PD IEC TS 62898‑2 – Microgrids for?
PD IEC TS 62898‑2 on microgrids applies to:
- Manufacturer of a microgrid controller
- Electrical engineer
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use PD IEC TS 62898‑2 – Microgrids?
A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources with defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity and can operate in both grid-connected and island mode.
PD IEC TS 62898‑2 guides you to facilitate the management of grid contingency and the local optimization of energy supply by controlling distributed energy resources. PD IEC TS 62898‑2 also provides an electricity supply that helps you in remote areas and to use clean and renewable energy as a systemic approach for rural electrification.
PD IEC TS 62898‑2 provides you with the guideline that covers the following issues:
- Response characteristic requirements of microgrids under different operation modes
- The basic control strategies and methods under different operation modes
- The requirements of electrical energy storage (EES), communication and monitoring under different operation modes
- The principle of relay protection under different operation modes
- Basic requirements of synchronization and reclosing during mode transfer
- Principle for power quality, EMC, maintenance and test of the microgrid.
As a user of PD IEC TS 62898‑2, you can avail of comprehensive guidelines and requirements for microgrids.
