The DERs operate autonomously per UFC 3-501-01 (Electrical Engineering) and UFC 3-550-01 (Exterior Electrical Power Distribution), and tend to be out of phase with each other. When the interconnection point is opened and the installation is disconnected from the external grid, the DERs must first synchronize before forming a microgrid.

READ MORENREL has been involved in the modeling, development, testing, and deployment of microgrids since 2001. A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode.
