Micro-grid development and Construction
img Source: www.renewableenergyworld.com When various electricity sources and loads are interconnected within clearly defined electrical boundaries than can act as a single entity that gets electrical supply from a grid and this entity can be connected and disconnected from that single grid, then this entity is called micro-grid. A micro-grid is a locally controlled system that provides certain advantages to customers as well as utilities such as improved energy efficiency, reduced environmental impact, reliability of supply, voltage control, security, and more. Before going into the development and construction phase of micro-grid we must first understand the microgrid lifecycle and ideal design. There are four main areas which are looked for developing a micro-grid – 1 Safety Micro-grid enables electricity to flow in multiple directions. So you will need to establish safety practices and measures. 2. Control Control and planning for contingencies is the key to successful develo
