# Microgrid islanded mode coordinator Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/microgrid-islanded-mode-coordinator Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-11-03 Lookup label: MIMC Drawing use: Schematic Reference families: Manufacturer Representation: Functional block Installation focus: microgrids Input: Established island condition Output: Islanded control state Coordinates the defined local voltage, frequency and resource controls after the island state is established. ## In plain English ### What this block does Coordinates the defined local voltage, frequency and resource controls after the island state is established. ### A simple example In a microgrid serving a switchroom and industrial loads, the controller can move between grid-connected and islanded operating states only through its defined transition logic. Each state needs identifiable source roles and feedback. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Established island condition” at the input and “Islanded control state” at the output. Resource roles must be compatible with island operation. ### What the drawings help you do Start at the named input: Established island condition. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Islanded control state. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded. ### Terms - Input: Established island condition - Output: Islanded control state - Application reference: An explanation of a named drawing function or circuit relationship; the project documents define the equipment and its connections.

A microgrid operating-mode function coordinates how local sources and loads relate to the utility connection. The selected mode, the measured electrical condition and the actual switching configuration can differ during a transition. In a microgrid serving a switchroom and industrial loads, the controller can move between grid-connected and islanded operating states only through its defined transition logic. Each state needs identifiable source roles and feedback. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Established island condition” at the input and “Islanded control state” at the output. Resource roles must be compatible with island operation. Show the requested mode, entry conditions, completion feedback and failure indication. These functional blocks explain control responsibilities and do not specify a ready-to-use operating sequence or grid-connection approval. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation. ## How to read it - Start at the named input: Established island condition. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. - Follow the named output: Islanded control state. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded. - Resource roles must be compatible with island operation. - Show the requested mode, entry conditions, completion feedback and failure indication. These functional blocks explain control responsibilities and do not specify a ready-to-use operating sequence or grid-connection approval. ## Information to show or reference - Label the source and connection reference for established island condition. - Identify the destination and defined state of islanded control state. - Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block. - Check this application limit in the project design: Resource roles must be compatible with island operation. ## Important distinction Resource roles must be compatible with island operation. 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. ## Facts - Representation: Functional block - Installation focus: Microgrids - Input / boundary: Established island condition - Output / connection: Islanded control state - Lookup label: MIMC is a library lookup label, not a standard device designation. ## Public references - [Microgrid operating modes and transitions management](https://productinfo.se.com/emol_functional_specifications/doca0371_emol_functionalspecifications/EN/DOCA0371_EMOL_Functional_Specifications_DD00894746.xml/%24/EMOL_OperatingModesandTransitionsManagement_DD00895904) — Schneider Electric.
