Microgrids: An Old Concept Could Be New Again Self-contained, small islands of electric generation, storage and distribution inside the existing grid–microgrids–could be the next big thing in electricity. But some argue they may be just another over-hyped development in the line of the enthusiasm surrounding the smart grid. A fire in a Pacific Gas & … Continue reading Microgrid s: An Old Concept Could Be New Again→
Microgrids for developing world need to enable ‘productive’ electricity use Electrification of remote areas of the developing world using solar, storage and microgrids can and should go further than just providing basics like lamps and phone chargers. That was a view expressed by Busso von Bismarck, founder, manager and head of business development at Qinous, … Continue reading Microgrids for developing world need to enable ‘productive’ electricity use→
The big future of microgrids The terminology might seem diminutive, but there is no doubt that the future for microgrids is anything but small. In fact, in future, microgrids themselves won’t necessarily be that small physically in their own right either. Misconceptions about the isolation of microgrids also abound. They don’t have to work in … Continue reading The big future of microgrids→
Microgrid 2.0 and Aging U.S. Grid Infrastructure April’s power outages in Los Angeles (LA) and San Francisco (SF) were among the latest reminders of the degree to which societies the world over have come to depend on a constant flow of high quality electricity. The risk factors pertaining to grid failures and outages are numerous … Continue reading Microgrid 2.0 and Aging U.S. Grid Infrastructure→
