In power generation applications, the rules governing connection to utility grids are set out in standards CEI 0-21 and CEI 0-16. In particular, the standards require that an interface protection system (IP) be installed to monitor the status of the grid, so that the generation system can connect to it. The standards also specify that the powered components of the system (including the interface protection relay, contactor coil and backup disconnector coil, if present) maintain power for at lea...
