2.2 Layered and distributed Microgrid control & protection system

NR provides a safe, stable and reliable solution to both grid-connected and islanded type Microgrid,
which adopts the design of layered and distributed control system. This system greatly increases the
proportion of grid-connected renewable DGs in the distributed power grids.

Fig 2.2.1 NR Microgrid topology

NR’s Microgrid control & protection system adopts the layered and distributed design, which is divided
into local control level, coordinative control level and optimal control level.

Fig 2.2.2 NR’S Layered and distributed Microgrid control & protection system
11 / 36
 Technical Proposal for Ban Khun Klang Microgrid project

Note: when the Microgrid capacity is smaller, the local controller is no need of being deployed and the
Microgrid controller communicates directly with DG, energy storage inverter and diesel engine.

 Local control level

The Local control level includes DGs, PCS, local controller and protection IEDs. Our automated local
control system with independent communication can provide fast response speed between equipment
during minor disturbances or short-circuit faults, and stabilize power-supply by the self-regulation of
converter or the fast action of protection equipment.
 Coordinative control level

The coordinative control level includes the Microgrid controller, which acquires the information of DGs,
energy storage, diesel generators and important load via the control communication network. When
Microgrid operates in the islanded mode and large disturbance occurs (such as non-scheduled grid outage,
large-capacity DG trip, etc.), the Microgrid controller coordinates the operating modes of energy storage
and diesel generator as well as the output power of DGs to maintain the voltage and frequency within
the allowable ranges and guarantee the stable and safe operation of Microgrid system.
 Optimal control level

The optimal control level includes the Microgrid EMS and depends on the data supplied by SCADA
system, dispatching & schedule system, load forecast system, etc. It realizes the functions of data analysis,
energy prediction, load management, optimal operation, economic dispatching for the specified
applications to maximize the comprehensive utilization rate of the DGs within Microgrid.
 Features

 It effectively exercises the coordination of control and protection among different layers to realize
the stable and economic operation of Microgrid.

 The control-layer networks are independent, safe and reliable due to redundantly-designed layers.

 The high-performance and ms-level response speed of the Microgrid controller enables the seamless
switch between different operation modes of Microgrid.

2.3 Microgrid Controller

PCS-9617MG is a control equipment specifically designed for Microgrid (both grid-connected and
islanded). It has the function of control, protection, measuring, monitoring, communication, etc. and
carries out the coordinative control of DG, energy storage, diesel generator and controllable load to
realize the safe, stable and economic operation of Microgrid. This helps to increase the economic benefit
of users, the DG accommodation capability of grid and the utilization rate of clean and renewable energy.

 Technical Proposal for Ban Khun Klang Microgrid project

Fig 2.3.1 Full core equipment from NR for Microgrid

Note: when the microgrid capacity is smaller, the local controller is no need of being deployed and the
microgrid controller communicates directly with DG, energy storage inverter and diesel engine.

PCS-9617MG is developed based on high-performance UAPC platform with high speed control response.
This guarantees the stable and safe operation of Microgrid with seamless operation. In addition, it adopts
the advanced optimal control algorithm to ensure the highly efficient and economic operation of various
energy sources within Microgrid, such as DG, CHP, solar generation, wind generation, etc. Its control
logic can be flexibly configured according to the user’s specification. Except the advanced control
functions, it also integrates the functions of Microgrid Interface protection.

PCS-9617MG includes the following functions:

1) Control

a) Control Strategy for Grid-connected Mode

 Tie-line power control

In order to avoid the impact of large tie-line power variation and power flow of distribution network,
Microgrid controller controls the output of energy storage devices and DGs and regulates the power flow
of PCC within the predefined range. This makes the Microgrid as a controllable source/load for a friendly
grid-connected distributed Microgrid system.

 Ancillary Services

Control the power of energy storage and DGs based on the dispatch center command or local
voltage/frequency to supply the grid with the frequency & voltage regulation service.

 Energy storage management

13 / 36
 Technical Proposal for Ban Khun Klang Microgrid project

Fluctuation suppression: The randomicity and volatility of wind generation and solar generation impact
the power quality and stability of Microgrid. However, the energy storage device has the capability to
dynamically absorb or release the power depending upon grid needs. Special strategy is set in the
controller to suppress the power output fluctuation of wind generation and solar generation and realize
the smooth power output of wind generation and solar generation.

Peak shaving: When Microgrid operates in the grid-connected mode, it injects power into the
distribution system during the peak-load period and absorbs power from the distribution system during
the valley-load period. The peak-valley schedule curve function is set in the controller, which receives
the schedule curve issued by the dispatching center and controls the power output according to make the
Microgrid an excellent solution for the distribution system. A peak-valley power output curve can also
be set locally to generate power during the peak-price period and absorbs power during the valley-price
period to obtain the benefit of peak-valley price difference which ultimately enhance the economic
efficiency of the Microgrid.

b) Control Strategy for Islanded mode

 Frequency & voltage emergency control

In islanded mode, the power deficiency or excess may lead to the sharp variation of frequency and voltage.
This severely impacts the normal operation of loads within Microgrid and causes the system breakdown.
The frequency & voltage emergency control is set to balance the power demand within Microgrid and to
recover the voltage and frequency within the allowable operating ranges by the energy storage output
control, fast load shedding and DG disconnection.

 PV power limit control

In order to avoid the automatic shutdown or damage of generator (diesel generator, gas engine) due to
its too low power output, the PV power output is limited by the automatic control to raise the power
output of generator up to an allowable range.

c) Transient process control

 Switching between grid-connected and islanded

Switchover from grid-connected mode to islanded mode: When the grid is de-energized due to fault,
overhaul, etc., the controller quickly detects the islanded condition, trips the circuit-breaker of PCC and
sends the islanded signal to the energy storage and DGs for the switching between Microgrid two
operating modes.

 Synchronous grid-connection

Switchover from islanded mode to grid-connected mode: The controller provides automatic
synchronous switching-on function for a safe and reliable grid inter-connection of Microgrid.

2) Protection

All the major protections according to grid need including over-current protection, under/over voltage
protection and under/over frequency protection.

3) Monitoring and Measuring

14 / 36
 Technical Proposal for Ban Khun Klang Microgrid project

a) Voltage, current, frequency, active power, reactive power, power factor and kilowatt-hour at PCC

b) Monitoring of circuit-breaker position, CT-wire break, PT-wire break, etc.

c) Up to 64 fault & action logs, 64 fault wave records, 1024 self-check reports and 1024 COS logs

d) The synch interface supports several GPS synchronization modes, including IRIG-B, SNTP, etc., as
well as IEEE1588 V2 high-precision net synchronization mode

4) Communication

a) Up to 6 10/100Mbps electronic Ethernet ports, one 1000Mbps electronic Ethernet port and 6 RS-
485/RS-232 serial ports are equipped for communicating with DGs and SCADA system. Additionally, it
supports IEC60870-5-103, IEC60870-5-104, DNP3.0 and MODBUS (Master and Slave).

b) Up to 8 100Base-FX optical Ethernet ports are equipped for the fast communication with PCSs and
supportsIEC`61850-8-1 GOOSE.

c) Hundreds of communication protocols are supported for communicating with subordinate DGs and
other intelligent devices. The configuration mode is convenient and the protocol module configuration
is flexible and expandable.
Features of Microgrid Controller

 It is developed based on the unified control & protection platform (UAPC), with relay-level
response speed and reliability, capable of seamless switchover between different Microgrid
operating modes.

 The control logic can be flexibly configured, conducive to the specified logic development by user.

 Sufficient communication ports and protocols to realize the communication access of converters
with different equipment and different manufacturers.

 The communication card and I/O module can be flexibly and optionally configured to meet the
requirements of different Microgrid capacities.

2.4 Microgrid energy management system

The Microgrid energy management system (MEMS) is a dispatching automation system for the data
acquisition, supervisory control, optimization and management of Microgrid. The system coordinates
and dispatches the interiors of Microgrid for its efficient, economic, safe and reliable operation.

The application functions of MEMS in this project described as follow:

1) The real-time control subsystem includes the data acquisition & supervisory control (SCADA),
voltage & reactive-power control, and black-start control.

 The data acquisition & supervisory control is the basis of MEMS. It acquires the data of source,
network and load within Microgrid and carries out the supervisory control. It also integrates the
meteorological data to provide the basis for the optimal dispatching of Microgrid.

 The automatic generation control realizes the tie-line active-power control in the grid-connected
15 / 36
 Technical Proposal for Ban Khun Klang Microgrid project

mode and the frequency control in the islanded mode. It eliminates the negative influence of the
output power uncertainty for renewable energy sources and guarantees the stability of Microgrid
active-power and frequency.

 The voltage & reactive power control exploits the reactive-power control capability of the control
equipment and DGs within Microgrid and carries out the coordinated reactive-power control to
realize the fast and continuous regulation of Microgrid voltage.

 When the Microgrid enters into complete black-out condition, the black-start control starts up only
the micro-sources within Microgrid to gradually expand the recovery scope of system for realizing
the efficient and stable recovery of Microgrid.

Microgrid EMS Features

 MEMS integrates data of different subsystems seamlessly to provide a unified interface for easy
realization of the flexible interaction among different application functions.

 There are various built-in DG models in MEMS to support the quick access and participation in the
optimal dispatching management for different DG.

 MEMS senses in the real time situation of Microgrid and responses quickly to the variation of source,
network and load. This ensures the Microgrid to be an effective, economic, safe and reliable
operating condition at any time.

2.5 PCS for ESS

The Power Conversion System (PCS) of ESS has the features of bidirectional power flow and flexible
control during much needed situations. The advantages are:

 Peak shaving: Promote the application of renewable energy in Microgrid, increase the penetration
rate of DG accommodation and lessen the impact on Microgrid

 Frequency & voltage regulation: Participate in the frequency & voltage regulation of Microgrid and
provide active and reactive-power support, which enhances the stability of Microgrid operation.

 Backup power-supply: Maintain the voltage and frequency of Microgrid during its outage, which
ensures the continuous power-supply for important devices to reduce the economic loss due to the
outage.

 Black start: Used as the black-start power source of the islanded Microgrid to set up the base voltage
and frequency of Microgrid to ensure its stable startup.

application scenarios for Peak shaving, frequency & voltage regulation, etc. By the mode selection, it
can operate in either grid-connected mode or islanded mode. The advanced virtual synchronous generator
(VSG) control strategy is applied to realize the fast and seamless switchover between grid-connected
mode and islanded mode for avoiding the impact of suddenly changed voltage and current due to the
operation mode switchover.

Fig 3.1 Meteorology information

This part shall consist of almost all the solar generation system, such as PV modules, power electronics, PV
combiners and protection & control systems etc. In addition, NR Electric has a vast pool of procurement
sources to optimally allocate equipment suiting to our customer’s needs. The main compositions in the solar
power generation part supplied by NR Electric are as follows.

(2). Panel mounting bracket
(3). DC combiner Box
(4). Cable
(5). Protection, Control and Monitoring System

3.1 Solar Panel Layout Design

Solar photovoltaic site area will include three area which is rooftop of control room, 2 car parking area nearby
the control room. The detailed design of the PV system will submit to EGAT after contract sign.

 Selection of Azimuth and Tilt Angle

Data obtained from the meteorological station all refer to the solar radiation onto horizontal surface, which
are required to be converted into radiation onto the tilted plane of the photovoltaic array to calculate the power
generation capacity.
For photovoltaic array mounted with a fixed tilt angle, the solar radiation received has something to do with
the tilt angle. A simple empirical formula for calculating the radiation is as follows:
Rβ＝S×[sin(α+β)/sinα]+D
Where: Rβ——the total solar radiation received on the tilted photovoltaic array surface
S ——direct solar radiation on horizontal plane
D ——scattered radiation
18 / 36
 Technical Proposal for Ban Khun Klang Microgrid project

α——solar elevation angle at noon

β——tilt angle of the photovoltaic array
According to local solar radiation data, the solar radiation energy received reaches the greatest in the year
when the tilt angle is 22°. Finally, it is determined to install the solar photovoltaic array with a tilt angle of
22°, facing the due south.
 Photovoltaic Module Array Spacing Design
Fixed photovoltaic arrays are installed in rows. It's generally required that two rows of photovoltaic arrays are
spaced in the manner that the front row does not shelter the back row from 9 a.m. to 15 p.m. at the winter
solstice, the day the sun projects the longest shadow.

Fig 3.1.1 Row spacing calculation

It can be calculated by the following formula:

Where:
L: length of inclined plane;
D: distance between two rows of arrays;
β: dip of array;
φ: local latitude.
Based on the calculation of above formula and in consideration of construction errors and actual project
experience, D takes 0.9 m.

 PV Module design
Due to the characteristics of sufficient production, mature manufacturing technology, stable performance,
long service life and relatively high photoelectric conversion efficiency, crystalline silicon solar panels are
widely used in large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power plant projects.
All PV modules will be produced strictly according to the specifications, data sheets, certifications offered by
the manufacturer. The modules will be safely packed for the international truck and sea transportation before
each shipment.
The detail technical specification is as follow.

MBMS Parameters

MBMS (Main Battery Management System) is responsible for the management of all BMU
in a battery string, capable of battery string current acquisition, total voltage acquisition, and
leakage detection. It drives the high voltage power contactor open in abnormal battery state to
stop battery string operation so as to protect the battery from getting damaged. At the same time,
it completes the capacity calibration and SOC calibration independently under BMS. Through
its own algorithm, it obtains the latest battery system capacity and SOC calibration value, as a
basis for follow-up battery charge/ discharge management. The resulting SOC value error is
small and SOC error amplification will be avoided in the long time accumulation process.
