The Evolution of the Microgrid• A microgrid is an integrated energy system with:
– Co-located power generation sources– End-use loads– Typically includes on-site energy storage – Connection to the main grid
• Macro benefits of the microgrid– Integration of renewable energy into the grid– Increased reliability and security of power– Accelerated development of the smart grid
• Types of microgrids:– Institutional/Campus– Commercial/Industrial– Military– Community/utility– Remote off grid
• Microgrids are here to stay– Pike Research projects capacity of 3.5GW at 2000 worldwide sites by 2016
