A microgrid is a self-contained electrical network that can operate either connected to the utility grid or in an independent “island” mode. This capability allows you to generate your own electricity on-site and use it as needed. Our solutions fully integrate all components of a microgrid, including battery energy storage systems (BESS), diesel. . Microgrids provide resilience, sustainability, and efficient energy solutions by leveraging onsite renewable generation with smart grid resources for better connectivity, decarbonization, and access to energy. However, the traditional model is changing. In microgrid, such as island networks, it is expected that renewable energy resources increase and fuel cost of diesel generators is reduced, while balancing the demand and supply of the power flow.
