4 FAQs about How is Advantech s microgrid

What is a microgrid system?

Microgrid systems combine on-site or behind-the-meter generation, energy storage and electrical load, and can operate either connected to or independent from the main grid. U.S. microgrid capacity could hit 10 GW by the end of 2025, according to the Department of Energy (DOE).

Can microgrids improve energy resilience?

Since microgrids are not the only way to enhance energy resilience, communities may want to consider alternate resilience investment options, including hardening existing transmission and distribution systems, weatherizing power generation sources, and building additional distribution systems to provide energy supply redundancy.

What are the benefits of microgrids?

Microgrids employing distributed energy technologies offer a range of flexible benefits that traditional grid systems can't match. They are more reliable, efficient, and flexible than their larger counterparts, providing clean energy sources with fewer emissions, and microgrid costs are generally lower due to using renewable energy sources.

What happens if a microgrid is grid-connected?

If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.
