How ETAP Microgrid Controllers manage the Red Sea Utility off-grid Microgrids in Tabuk Resort

he etap.com/micro... - The Red Sea Utility Grid is in the Tabuk province of Saudi Arabia. The site is a vast 33,000 km2 of islands, lagoon, coastal plain and mountains with extremely diverse marine life and terrestrial landforms. The grid is divided into four off-grid microgrids. The focus of this presentation is about three of the microgrids that are very similar in size and operation. Each of these microgrids includes two PV generation (total 6 MW), two battery storages (total 5MW, ~18 MWh), and two emergency backup diesel generators (~ total 3.8 MW). The system is designed to achieve high reliability by having redundancy at various levels.
The microgrids are sized to be fully supplied by solar energy to maximize sustainability. However, diesel backup generators are provided in case solar PV generation is compromised due to severe weather condition or an equipment failure. One ETAP microgrid controller is utilized per microgrid to provide secondary and tertiary control functions required to optimally and reliably operate each microgrid system.
Due to the size and number of distributed energy resources (DERs) used in Red Sea microgrids, an advanced collaborative control approach has been adopted to control the voltage and frequency of the system. This means that all DERs, even solar PV systems, dynamically contribute to frequency and voltage control through droop curves; hence, a secondary voltage and frequency control function is provided by ETAP microgrid controller to slowly transfer Solar PV’s dynamic contributions to energy storage systems.
Since this microgrid is mainly supplied by renewable energy resources and battery systems, soft energization of the microgrids has been adopted to perform black start and avoid transformer inrush currents. To achieve this, a new black start function has been developed within ETAP microgrid controller to orchestrate the black start steps and coordinate dispatching and switching DERs, transformers, and loads to fully and reliably restore the microgrid system.

Hello dear, I am a new starter for this program, and I want to learn this software, how and help me to start up with learning such which playlist follow and study it. Thanks in advance.

Very informative Can i activate the MGCs in etap in offline mode ( inside the model on my laptop) without the need to deploy to etap online realtime

[@ETAPsoftware]

Thank you for your interest in ETAP Products. Yes, you can program and test the MGC in ETAP off-line and the transfer the everything to the physical controller, once deployed and connected to the live environment you can then analyze and update your controller in real-time.

[@hanial-shadadi9122]

@@ETAPsoftware Thanks for you fast response.. could u plz put this webinar or vedio link. I did not got it . There is no more details how to configure MGCs and test it before deploy it to the physical controller. Thank you very much for all your informative webinars and tutorials. Best regards

Hi, im going to join etap course. I don't know anything about ETAP but im ready to upgrade my skills. Before all this i need a laptop right? Thats where the doubt comes can i use MacBook for etap or should i go to windows. Which is best to learn ETAP software.

[@ETAPsoftware]

Thank you for your interest in ETAP Software. your are correct, at this time ETAP only works on the Microsoft OS. See our system requirements on our website, etap.com/products/sales/system-requirements. For more information or assistance you can always contact our 24/7 Help Center at helpcenter.etap.com
