Scenario
An industrial campus operates a hybrid microgrid with a 2 MW gas combined heat and power unit, 1 MW solar PV array, and 1 MW/2 MWh battery energy storage system, all connected to a 13.8 kV bus and supplying campus loads via a step-down transformer, with metering and breaker protection.
Key decisions
- Selecting 13.8 kV for the main collection bus and 480V for DER and load connections
- Representing the BESS as a UPS node with bidirectional capability
- Adding step-up transformers for low-voltage PV and BESS to match the 13.8 kV bus
- Using dedicated circuit breakers for each source and load feeder for isolation and protection
- Including a watthour meter on the utility feed for net metering
