READ MOREMicrogrids are more suitable for commercial systems to service their clients with no service discontinuity. The microgrid enables both connection and disconnection from the grid. That is, the microgrid can operate both in grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. The microgrid controller plays an important role in microgrid systems.
READ MOREMicrogrids provide dynamic responsiveness unprecedented for an energy resource. Microgrids can create efficiencies in many ways. For instance, using cogeneration to serve balanced electric and thermal loads, microgrids can achieve generation efficiencies above 80 percent compared to around 30 to 50 percent for conventional generation.
