Microgrid energy storage companies announced

What or who is MicroGrid Energy?

MicroGrid Energy designs, develops, and operates Microgrids. We do this for customers who choose not to manage and operate their own Microgrid. Microgrids consist of renewable energy systems, energy storage devices, and CHP combined heat and power, which help lower your company's energy bill and save money.

How much does energy storage cost a microgrid?

In commercial/industrial and utility microgrids, soft costs (43% and 24%, respectively) represent significant portion of the total costs per megawatt. Finally, energy storage contributes significantly to the total cost of commercial and community microgrids, which have percentages of 25% and 15%, respectively, of the total costs per megawatt.

Are microgrids a reliable solution to unexpected power loss?

Microgrids are a reliable solution to unexpected power loss by balancing variations in energy demand and usage that can also help lower energy costs and reduce carbon emissions. Visit Eaton’s Power Systems Experience Center to experience a full-scale operational microgrid, powering much of its lighting, HVAC and house loads.

Are microgrids a good solution for energy resiliency?

With the ability to isolate from the primary grid, microgrids have emerged as an ideal solution to assure energy resiliency, independence from utilities, islanding, load control and optimized energy usage. A DER system, or microgrid, is never a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
