Note: Different energy source and carriers, meaning natural gas, electricity, and heat, are involved, and that
they are all represented in terms of a common unit (kW). Note too that P
independently controlled. Also, fuel consumption rate of a CHP unit reflected in the objective function is
assumed to be an affine function of its generated electric power; this is similar to all dispatchable units
in the microgrid.
Similar to dispatchable generators, CHP units can also operate in isochronous mode to cover the electric
system reserve requirements.

Microgrid Controller Setup

The Microgrid Controller is set up for microgrid operation and control from the DMC490 HMI.
» To connect and configure a microgrid, perform the following tasks:
1. Set up communication between Assets controller or Asset of the Microgrid to the DMC490 using Data
Collection Application; see Chapter 17 - Configure IED/Device Blocks (Clients) of the SWM0066 D400
Software Configuration Guide.
2. Follow the configuration procedure provided in Chapter 2 – DMC490 Configuration of this manual.
Using SGConfig to Configure the DMC490
SGConfig (v9.0 or later) can be used to configure LogicLinx for a DMC490.
The following SGConfig features are not supported and will fail if you attempt to use them
to configure a DMC490:
