The Load Management Control block is responsible for regulating the flow of the load (active power) through the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), when the microgrid is connected to an external AC-grid, by allowing the user to adjust the active power settings. This block is part of the microgrid library from the OP1420, and should be used along with the other blocks.

Inputs

Name	Unit	Description

Name	Unit	Description
Pref RER	pu	Combined reference powers for all Renewable Energy Resources (RERs) (WT+PV)
P ref Total Load	pu	Combined reference powers for all loads (DR, Sheddable, Critical and PHIL)
P ref Shedable Load*	pu	User-defined power reference for sheddable load
P ref Excess Load	pu	Excess load within the Microgrid (greater than 0 means load must be reduced)
P ref Demand Response Load*	pu	Excess load within the Microgrid (greater than 0 means load must be reduced)
Islanded	-	Specifies whether the Microgrid is islanded/Grid connected (0 = Grid connected, 1 = islanded)
Dispatch mode	-	Internal mode of the real-power (dispatch) controller

Outputs

Name	Unit	Description

Name	Unit	Description
Total Load Reduction	pu	Total amount of load reduction used to adjust the BESS's power reference.
P ref Demand Response Load	pu	Power reference sent to the demand response load
Demand Response Load Reduction	-	Status of the demand response load (0= load is not reduced, 1 = load is reduced)
P ref Sheddable Load	pu	Power reference sent to the sheddable load
Load Shedded	-	Status of the sheddable load (0 = load is not shedded, 1= load is shedded)
