Microgrids
Efficient, reliable, eco-friendly power supply with microgrids and battery storage
What is a microgrid?
A microgrid is an independent energy system that services a site or local area such as a mine site, business complex or neighbourhood. Within microgrids are one or more kinds of distributed energy (thermal generators, solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat & power) that produce its power.
In addition, microgrids can contain battery energy storage systems (BESS) as well as a control platform (energy management software) and other supporting equipment. Microgrids can operate in a grid-connected mode and island mode (autonomously).
Global markets are evolving, decarbonisation, demographic change, digitalisation and decentralisation are becoming key factors to the energy transition. The integration and control of energy systems at a localised level is becoming increasingly important to ensure power stability and reliability, and microgrids are the answer to the changing energy landscape.

Benefits of microgrids
- Ensures reliable and resilient power supply: operates independently during grid outages or disasters such as fires, floods, and storms, maintaining uninterrupted energy flow
- Delivers cost efficiency: optimised distributed energy systems and intelligent load management reduce overall energy spend
- Lowers carbon footprint: integrates renewable energy sources and advanced energy management technologies for cleaner power generation
- Enhances system efficiency: waste heat recovery maximises energy utilisation with combined heating and cooling applications
- Reduces operational and maintenance costs: smart energy management systems and reduced usage of thermal generators bring the maintenance costs down
- Provides backup and grid support: microgrids can seamlessly connect with or isolate from the main grid, serving as an emergency power source
