Microgrid resource runback request

Requests the documented reduction of an assigned resource output following its initiating condition. Active-power dispatch allocates the electrical work performed by the microgrid resources. A total site target, a resource power limit and the actual measured contribution are different quantities that must be connected clearly in the diagram.

A distinction that matters

Runback differs from immediate resource disconnection. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.

Power plant controller

A power plant controller measures voltage, current, active and reactive power at the plant connection point and adjusts setpoints of all inverters or turbines to meet the network operator's requirements. Typical functions include active power limits, ramp rates, frequency response, voltage or reactive power control and power factor control.

A distinction that matters

A power plant controller manages one generating plant at its connection point; a microgrid controller also manages loads and islanding.
