A method, an apparatus, and a system for monitoring an islanding electricity generation unit are provided. The method includes determining an islanding electricity generation unit in a renewable energy station on the basis of collected electrical capacity at critical electrical nodes of the renewable energy station, and controlling a switch device corresponding to the determined islanding electricity generation unit to sever connection between the electricity generation unit and a collector line. The critical electrical nodes include nodes that have a collecting effect on grid-connected current of the electricity generation units of the renewable energy station, and each collector line being constructed to collect grid-connected current from at least one electricity generation unit and input same into a main transformer of the renewable energy station.

A power storage control system includes a storage battery and a controller. The storage battery supplies electric power to an electric power system in collaboration with a power generator in response to a command value. The controller outputs, to the power generator, a stop signal causing the power generator to stop power generation when a state of charge of the storage battery is larger than a given value. The controller outputs, to the power generator, an execution signal causing the power generator to execute power generation when the state of charge is not larger than the given value. The controller acquires an actual electric power value generated by the power generator. The controller outputs a control signal causing the storage battery to execute charging and discharging for satisfying the command value on the basis of a difference between the command value and the actual electric power value.

Various implementations power homes and businesses without needing to connect to electric utility company-provided power, i.e., they can operate off-grid. Generally the system includes solar panel racks (e.g., photovoltaic cells on sheets stabilized using ballasts, anchors, or mounting) that generate electrical power used to provide power to a building or that is stored on batteries. The system includes the solar panel racks and an enclosure to be installed at the premises and separate from the building. The enclosure includes the batteries and inverters that are electronically connected to the solar panel racks and batteries. The inverters are configured to convert direct current (DC) electricity from the solar power racks and batteries to alternating current (AC) electricity to provide power to the building via wires electrically connecting the inverters to the main panel of the building.

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for controlling part of an electric power distribution system using an intelligent electronic device that may rely on communication from wireless electrical measurement devices. Wireless electrical measurement devices associated with different phases of power on an electric power distribution system may send wireless messages containing electrical measurements for respective phases to an intelligent electronic device. When wireless communication with one of the wireless electrical measurement devices becomes inconsistent or lost, the intelligent electronic device may synthesize the electrical measurements of the missing phase using electrical measurements of remaining phases. The intelligent electronic device may use the synthesized electrical measurements to control part of the electric power distribution system.

Systems for determining a phase of a device coupled to an electrical distribution system. The system includes a number of gateway devices configured to transmit a synchronization signal. The gateway device receives a node response message from a first node device that includes a duration value indicating a time between a receipt of the transmitted synchronization signal and a detected zero crossing. The gateway device compares the duration value against duration values received from node devices with a known phase connection and determines a phase of the first node device based on the comparison.
