READ MORE2. Microgrids enabling sustainability. As microgrid types 1-4 (see above) feature mostly small-scale generation units close to the point of consumption, they enable the exploitation of abundant distributed renewable energy resources, e.g. solar or wind power, or local bio-based fuels (Murthy 2012).
READ MOREMicrogrid projects are designed to serve the needs of end customers, which can include businesses and organizations, government entities, utilities and residential customers. The exact design requirements can vary substantially between microgrids, depending on the loads, DERs and other motivating factors for developing a microgrid.
READ MORENREL has been involved in the modeling, development, testing, and deployment of microgrids since 2001. A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode.
