The cost of microgrids varies widely due to the many different sizes and configurations of the systems, but there are reference points, as well as cost breakdowns of the various components of projects. Companies that analyze markets track individual microgrid projects...
Why do electric vehicles need microgrids? There are a number of reasons, including circumventing restraints on the amount of power available from the grid, cost reductions and energy saving, increased flexibility and resilience and an increase in the amount of green...
The main advantages of adding small wind turbines for microgrids are an increase in renewable energy supply, a reduction in the amount of backup power required from a diesel generator and a reduction in the strain imposed on energy storage, thus extending battery...
There are five major microgrid market segments, each having particular characteristics depending on their function, location, and who or what operates them. Commercial & Industrial Microgrids Such facilities can range from a single story that can be an office or a...
Microgrids are a typical component of decentralized energy generation, particularly where the generation technologies employed generate renewable energy, although some microgrids do utilize fossil fuels, such as natural gas. What are key microgrid features? Microgrids...
What Is Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)? Energy-as-a-Service is a business model that doesn’t rely on centralized energy generation or is particularly asset-focused, predicated on the maintenance of a set customer base featuring non-engaged consumers. Instead, the EaaS...
This post is a primer quick guide to distributed energy systems and assumes no technical background on the part of the reader. You may have heard terms such as “microgrid”, or “Distributed Energy System (DES)” in the news, especially after storms or fires cause...
