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.
Microgrids generally must also include a control strategy to maintain, on an instantaneous basis, real and reactive power balance when the system is islanded and, over a longer time, to determine how to dispatch the resources.
High-Capacity StorageProvides 20kWh of reliable energy storage for solar and hybrid power systems. Modular Battery SystemCompatible with lithium-ion or LiFePO₄ batteries, with optional scalability.
Its main components include energy sources (like solar panels or generators), energy storage systems (like batteries), loads (devices that consume electricity), and a control system that manages the balance between generation and demand.
You can expect a 100 kW system to produce roughly 350 to 450 kWh per day. If you're a large business with significant electricity consumption and an annual power bill of about $50k, this could potentially reduce your energy bills by approximately 30%.
Created through a cross-border partnership of entrepreneurs and academics, the OMM-Ukraine: Optimised Microgrid project leverages AI optimisation to enable smart energy balancing and forecasting, significantly improving efficiency, with a functional prototype planned for March 2026.
Operating and protecting the microgrid throughout these system variations requires carefully selecting control and protection equipment, schemes, and settings.
