What is a microgrid & how does it work?

Microgrids provide resilience, sustainability, and efficient energy solutions by leveraging onsite renewable generation with smart grid resources for better connectivity, decarbonisation, and access to energy. Learn how businesses today can produce, consume, and control their own energy.

What are the different types of microgrid solutions?

1. Microgrid solutions from Schneider Electric Schneider Electric offers efficient microgrid solutions based on a combination of Edge Control Systems, Connected Products, Applications, Analytics, and Services. Connected Products include Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Grid-Tie String Inverters, and Hybrid Inverters.

Should I add a microgrid to my solar energy system?

Adding a microgrid to a solar energy system can ensure an even brighter future. Go all-digital and all-electric for more sustainable, resilient, efficient, and people-centric buildings. Reach a net-zero future by integrating our all-electric mobility solutions with your microgrid.

How can Schneider Electric Help you design a microgrid?

Schneider Electric offers a ready-to-use solution to help you design a microgrid, regardless of the application. Our pre-engineered microgrid control centres have all the components you need for power management, control, energy metering, and power monitoring.

What is a grid connected microgrid?

Grid-connected microgrids: They have a physical connection to the utility grid through a switching mechanism at the point of common coupling (PCC); however, they can be disconnected into island mode and reconnected back to the main grid when required.

How are microgrids different from smart grids?

Microgrids are different from smart grids. A microgrid is a self-sufficient and localised energy system serving a discrete geographic footprint, which may be a business centre, hospital complex, etc. It includes distributed energy sources and multiple loads, which can be operated parallelly with the broader utility grid.
