What is a solar microgrid?

Solar Microgrids are integrated networks or ‘grids’ of power. Think of it in the same way that you and your neighbours receive your electricity – through a shared network. Using energy generated from the sun, the system captures, stores, and distributes clean electricity to an entire community.

How do solar microgrids deal with cloudy weather?

To deal with cloudy weather, most systems also have storage capabilities that allow them to operate through stretches of sparse sunlight. Solar microgrids are an exciting renewable energy solution due to their application at any scale and their ability to be expanded later.

What is a microgrid controller & energy management system modeling?

Controller and energy management system modeling. Many microgrids receive power from sources both within the microgrid and outside the microgrid. The methods by which these microgrids are controlled vary widely and the visibility of behind-the-meter DER is often limited.

How much energy can a solar microgrid provide?

Some of our solar microgrid systems have a capacity as small as 1.5kw, providing reliable energy to 25 homes and 5 businesses. Other microgrids are expected to have a capacity closer to 15kw, enough energy to power hundreds of households and small businesses.

What is a microgrid?

The DOE defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the power grid.

What is power flow from microgrid to main grid?

When a condition of insufficient power from microgrid arises, main grid supplies power to microgrid. In case of surplus power availability from microgrid, a control provision for power flow from microgrid to main grid is required. All these controls are provided through central control unit.
