Part 4: Off-grid battery grid forming: How to manage microgrids

The Battery Energy Storage System is an accumulator which stores electrical energy in order to be able to supply it when needed. In the case of off-grid power systems, this is often the only way of supplying electric power in areas that do not have access to a power distribution system or where the cost of grid connection is too expensive compared to a …

Force discharge to grid

I would think the grid would want you to discharge slowly over the 4-7pm time window, rather than have everyone dump maximum amount at 4pm. I have a 6Kw grid limit, 12Kw battery, so could dump 1/2 my battery in the first hour. Also, I assume you set the upper and lower limits on the inverter for how much charge you want to force discharge.
