READ MOREThe growth of local renewable energy sources and heavy loads in power distribution networks, such as the increasing electric vehicles charging stations, causes several issues with a direct impact on the stability of the electrical grid. An attempt to overcome such issues is the microgrid concept, which has the grid structured into local sub-grids that manage
READ MOREThe electrical grid exists to supply our electricity demand, ensuring the two are balanced and connecting electrical supply to electrical demand with the transmission and distribution system. In practice, a microgrid works in the exact same way, just for a smaller geographic area, like a couple of buildings or a local community.
READ MOREA microgrid is a controllable local energy grid that serves a discrete geographic footprint such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center, or neighborhood. It connects to the grid at a point of common coupling that adopting voltage with the main grid in normal and can break off automatically or manually and works as an

In the past, four 500-kW diesel generators on Pratas Island were the only energy source. Based on the operating records, the annual averaged load is 150kW: 180kW in the summer and 120kW in the
READ MORESingapore Institute of Technology (SIT), in collaboration with SP Group, is developing Singapore''s First Experimental Urban Micro-grid. It will be housed in SIT''s future campus
READ MOREMicrogrids are decentralized and autonomous systems that generate, distribute, and manage power locally. They can be found on islands, as well as on the mainland. Especially islands understand the importance of a clean and reliable energy system, as they often hold a unique ecosystem. However, due to their remote location and scarce resources
READ MOREMicrogrids are small local grids that allow them to be isolated from upstream grids and to supply their load demands using their resources. A modern
READ MOREMicrogrids are small networks that work as a cluster of loads and micro-sources operating as a single controllable network that produces and distribute power in remote areas such as villages, industrial complexes or even in remote islands [9], [10]. Microgrids have the ability to be grid-connected, where the system is able to connect to
READ MOREThe company plans to build a small-scale microgrid system centred on public facilities, which have several hundred kilowatts demand. The microgrid will have "hundreds of kilowatts of solar power and hundreds of kilowatt-hours of battery storage," the company said. "CO2 emissions from the power sector in the area will be virtually zero."
