State Grid Small and Micro Enterprise Project

Why are more organizations deploying microgrids?

One of the biggest reasons more organizations are deploying microgrids is the growing availability of battery electric storage systems (BESSs). They multiply the benefits of microgrids, allowing enterprises to integrate more renewable resources and make the best use of on-site energy.

Are microgrids a potential for a modernized electric infrastructure?

1. Introduction Electricity distribution networks globally are undergoing a transformation, driven by the emergence of new distributed energy resources (DERs), including microgrids (MGs). The MG is a promising potential for a modernized electric infrastructure , .

Can microgrids be integrated into energy assurance planning & implementation?

Microgrids can be incorporated into energy assurance planning and implementation, as currently being worked on by OE in collaboration with other states. (Passage originally stated 'Currently, OE is working with other states on incorporating microgrids into energy assurance planning and implementation.')

What are the microgrid program goals for OE?

OE’s microgrid program goals include developing commercial scale microgrid systems (capacity of less than 10 MW) that can reduce outage time of required loads by more than 98% at a cost comparable to non-integrated baseline solutions. These microgrids are also expected to reduce emissions by more than 20% and improve system energy efficiencies by more than 20% by 2020.

When did Tsinghua University start a microgrid project?

In September 2005, Tsinghua University signed a cooperative research agreement with Liaoning High Tech Energy Group Co., Ltd., establishing China’s first microgrid Research Institute. In 2006, Tsinghua University worked with the State Key Laboratory of Power Generation Equipment Control and Simulation to build a microgrid experimental platform.

How can Microgrid technology contribute to the development of energy Internets?

Microgrid technologies, coupled with Internet technologies, can realize the development of regional “energy Internets”. Microgrids can accept a high proportion of renewable energy and support users’ flexible energy use and flexible transactions around energy sales and purchases.
