Abstract:
A method for operatively coupling a plurality of generating units in at least one micro-grid to a bulk grid, where the at least one micro-grid is configurable to be operatively coupled to the bulk grid via a point of interconnection breaker is presented. The method includes, using a control unit operatively coupled to the at least one micro-grid and the bulk grid, determining one or more bulk grid side parameters and one or more micro-grid side parameters, comparing one or more of the one or more micro-grid side parameters with corresponding one or more bulk grid side parameters, and synchronizing each of the plurality of generating units in the at least one micro-grid with the bulk grid based on the comparison. Further, the method includes connecting simultaneously, using the point of interconnection breaker, each of the plurality of generating units to the bulk grid based on the synchronization.
