GRID-TIED VARIABLE FREQUENCY FACILITY
A micro grid system comprises an adapter and a power controller. The adapter is in communication with an electric grid and configured to connect and disconnect a connection between the electric grid and a micro grid. The power controller is electrically connected to the adapter and receives first AC power from the electric grid via the adapter, obtains grid information, and controls the adapter to connect and disconnect the connection between the electric grid and the micro grid. The power controller controls the adapter to disconnect the connection between the electric grid and the micro grid in response to determining that the electric grid is abnormal based on the grid information.
1 . A micro grid system comprising:
an adapter in communication with an electric grid and configured to connect and disconnect a connection between the electric grid and a micro grid, the adapter comprising a grid side plug, a facility side plug, a first meter socket, and a second meter socket, the adapter further configured to:
connect to an electric grid via the grid side plug, connect to a facility load via the facility side plug, and connect to an electrical meter via the first meter socket and the second meter socket, and
connect electrically the electric grid and the facility load, the electric grid and the facility load being electrically connected when the electrical meter is electrically connected, via the adapter, to the electric grid and the facility load; and
a power controller electrically connected to the adapter, the power controller configured to receive first AC power from the electric grid via the adapter, obtain grid information, and control the adapter to connect and disconnect the connection between the electric grid and the micro grid, wherein the power controller controls the adapter to disconnect the connection between the electric grid and the micro grid in response to determining that the electric grid is abnormal based on the grid information.
