• Backup Power Duration:

o Minimum 48 hours continuous operation at full facility load (100 kW) during utility outage o No external fuel delivery or battery recharging required during this period

• Operational Availability:

o System available for backup operation within 10 seconds of utility loss o Automatic detection and response to utility outages o Return to normal operation automatically upon utility restoration

3.2 Operating Modes

System shall operate per the Sequence of Operations defined in Attachment B (Scope of

Work), including:

3.2.1 Sequence of Operations - Normal Conditions

STATE

STEPS

52B BESS 52L LOAD 52U UTILITY

Closed Following Closed Energized Closed Available

Microgrid Controller communicates directly to the BESS inverters, and monitors the net facility power consumption at the Point of Interconnection (POI) with the utility through the protective relay.

The Microgrid Controller optimizes the charge and discharge of the BESS to provide energy management services such as time-of-use energy arbitrage or peak shaving demand management.

The Microgrid Controller provides a configurable low State of Charge (SOC) limit to reserve a portion of the BESS for potential outages. Utility rate optimization will be performed only when above this SOC.

The Microgrid Controller operates the system within safe recommended limits and provides autonomous fault resolution when possible.

Manual-switching

The Microgrid Controller enables manual switching between grid-connected and island mode during normal operation.

3.2.2 Sequence of Operations - Utility Outage

STATE

STEPS

52B BESS 52L LOAD 52U UTILITY

Closed Forming Closed Energized Open Not

Available

1 The protective relay detects a grid failure and opens the grid breaker (52U).

The Microgrid Controller receives feedback from the protective relay and the BESS is switched to operate in grid-forming mode.

The load is met by BESS until the BESS reaches a low State of Charge

(SOC).

Manual-switching

The Microgrid Controller disables manual switching between grid-connected and island mode during a utility outage. The microgrid remains in island mode until utility power is restored.

3.2.3 Sequence of Operations - Low State of Charge (SOC)

STEPS

52B BESS 52L LOAD 52U UTILITY

Closed Forming Closed Energized Open Not

Available

At a pre-configured low SOC, the Microgrid Controller will send a start signal to the generator controller.

The generator ramps up to nominal voltage and frequency. The genset controller performs a sync check and closes the generator breaker when it is in sync with the energized microgrid bus formed by the energy storage inverter.

Microgrid Controller keeps the BESS in a grid-forming but commands zero net real power flow (no charging). Generator supplies full load.

Microgrid Controller continuously monitors SOC and generator parameters;

BESS remains in forming/support mode until restoration or controller-commanded change.

3.2.4 Sequence of Operations - Restoration of Utility

STEPS

52B BESS 52L LOAD 52U UTILITY

Closed Following Closed Energized Closed Available

1 Utility returns.

Microgrid Controller senses return of utility and verifies voltage/frequency stability for the preconfigured time delay.

Protection relay performs synchronization checks; when thresholds met, relay closes grid breaker (52U) to reconnect to utility.

If generator is running, Microgrid Controller coordinates generator ramping or shutdown, and disconnects in closed transition.

5 BESS switches to grid-following mode.

Normal grid-tied operations resume, and the Microgrid Controller returns to utility-optimization functions

• The final control sequence of operations and control logic will be determined during project execution.

• The system shall comply with NEC 700 requirements where applicable (e.g., emergency loads, load prioritization, transfer timing, isolation).
