If we have a diesel generator in this architecture, It should be connected directly to AC bus, or do we need converter/inverter as an interface?

The following project shows the integration between PV, BESS, and generator in a microgrid. I would like to know these 3 inverters are enough for control the whole system? Why there isn't any inverter for battery and generator? What is PCS and STS? We don't have any converters in this system?

Few post earlier, some guys said, inverters convert DC to AC or vice versa, but Gen is produced AC voltage and connected to AC bus. So can we use inverter for it?

Do we have multi-mode inverter for grid-connection? I mean an inverter with grid-forming and grid-following mode. Do you know any brand for these type of inverters?

My another question is control of microgrid. If these inverters can control the voltage and frequency, why do we need to add another controller for microgrid? The figure below shows a separate controller in addition to the inverters.

Yes. I see. How the battery can be charged? Is Sunny Island bidirectional inverter?

Grid-forming inverters should be installed in DC side or AC side?

But they can not flow the power and manage the whole energy in micro-grid. So I guess, besides the inverters (battery/PV inverters), we need centralized controller to control and manage the energy in micro-grid.

Hello everyone, I'm going to learn about grid-scale battery storage in stationary application. i.e., integration between batteries, solar panel system, inverters and grid connection. The first question is for communication of these components if we use Modbus or CANbus connection? I...

Thanks. We call this controller energy management system (EMS). Right? Which type of control algorithm/strategy is used for this controller? (i.e., PID, adaptive controller, ...). If this can be used for both inverter/charger for battery/PV and also for energy management system as a...

Thanks. It was very informative. Unit feeding panel means our distributed generation (DG)? Like solar panel or wind turbine? So, if grid-forming uses one of the units feeding panel for reference, how it can detect this reference is accurate for our target (voltage and frequency)?

If the main grid is outage, what's your suggestion about control strategy to maintain stable voltage and frequency?

What's your suggested architecture? My microgrid consists of BESS, PV, generator, and AC load. The situation is off-grid.

So we don't have DC/DC or AC/AC inverters?

Do you mean BESS should be a grid-forming unit and the rest of the units should be grid-following?

Thanks. But beside the inverters, we need to have separate controller (energy management system) to control and manage the power flow. Like the following picture.

Yes. you are right. I mean in a microgrid, what type of communication is preferred between components (like battery, solar, and inverter)? So for Modbus communication we need fiber?

So, it works like EMS. Right? Is the control strategy "droop control" in it? What's your control strategy when you face with grid outage? This controller can manage it?

You don't have any charger/controller for BESS?

It seems this inverter uses internal grid-forming method to control the voltage and frequency, and all energy resources follow the voltage/frequency produced by inverter. Am I correct? Another scenario is during off-grid situation, this inverter get a voltage/frequency sample of one of the...

I couldn't find Early Sunny Islands datasheet. Could you please share the link?

So you are talking about this kind of inverter. Right? Assume we have diesel generator for back up during outage. How can we control voltage and frequency or power of microgrid?

Thanks! it was a good information.

Could you please introduce a multi-mode inverter in real application? I'd like to check its datasheet. Thanks!
