DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Remote Power System Micro Grids Market - Growth Trends and Forecasts" report to their offering.
Remote Power Systems are off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical Remote Power Systems include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation. Mandates for renewable energy generation are one of the major factors for development in this field. The market is also expected to see considerable growth over the next decade.
A MicroGrid is a semiautonomous grouping of generating sources and end-use sinks that are placed and operated for the benefit of its members, which may be one utility, a grouping of several sites, or dispersed sites that nonetheless operate in a coordinated fashion. The supply sources may include reciprocating engine generator sets, microturbines, fuel cells, photovoltaic and other small-scale renewable generators, storage devices, and controllable end-use loads.
All controlled sources and sinks are interconnected in a manner that enables devices to perform the MicroGrid control functions unnecessary for traditional DER. For example, the energy balance of the system must be maintained by dispatch, and non-critical loads might be curtailed or shed during times of energy shortfall or high costs. While capable of operating independently of the macrogrid, the MicroGrid usually functions interconnected, purchasing energy and ancillary services from the macrogrid as economic, and potentially selling back at times.
Three key potential features of the Micro-Grid are:
- Its design around total system energy requirements
- Its provision of heterogeneous level of power quality and reliability to end-uses.
- Its presentation to the macrogrid as a single controlled entity.
