This paper examines a microgrid solution implemented at a semiconductor facility in Dresden, Germany, supporting a critical load of 20 MVA, since 1999 already. To address the facility's energy requirements for electrical power, heating, and cooling, a combined heat and power (CHP) station was installed for local generation.
The microgrid connects to the local utility via a Power Conditioning Device (PCD) from Piller Power Systems, incorporating POWERBRIDGE flywheels for kinetic energy storage.
The PCD facilitates power exchange with the utility while protecting the facility from grid disturbances. In the event of utility failure, the PCD seamlessly transitions to island mode, maintaining microgrid stability during load variations or engine failures.
Additionally, the system mitigates critical frequency fluctuations due to the slow response of gas engines to load changes, ensuring an uninterrupted, high-quality power supply for a semiconductor facility essential operations.
