Local consumers enjoy the lower-cost renewable energy from their local wind turbine during production periods.
The ATS box comprises:
Meters which monitor the electricity import from the two individual supplies
Isolators to protect the equipment against potential power surge exceeding the ATS design envelope
mechanical interlock contactor which alternates the supply to the consumers
Mediation device monitors and controls the ATS operational behaviour based on its configured policy
The intelligent policy engine running on the mediation device automatically switches the electricity supply from the grid to WT when there is adequate renewable generation available. The operation sequence includes:
Collection of the data streams from the local wind turbine and consumers
The policy analyses the data and produces the outcome which secures either the grid or the wind turbine connection according to the set parameters
A relay is energised which causes the mechanical interlock contactor to switch between the SSE and the wind turbine
