RENEWABLE MICROGRIDS: ISLANDS
The risks and drawbacks—paired with continuing cost reductions in solar, wind, and energy storage technologies—suggest that an alternative to the fully oil-based electricity systems of the past is now available to islands and remote communities across the globe: affordable renewable microgrids.

Building a Better Microgrid with Hardware in the Loop
The electric power grid is undergoing one of the most fundamental changes since its inception over a century ago. And if the aim of a decentralized and digitalized grid is reliability and resilience, the digital tools used to design, test and integrate the components to achieve that end are of utmost importance. Download the new Microgrid Knowledge report, courtesy of Typhoon HIL, to learn more about how new tools and processes like Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing and Model Based Engineering (MBE) can pave the way to a better microgrid.

Reciprocating Engine Generators and Microgrids: The Last Defense Against a Power Outage
Reciprocating engine generators are becoming increasingly important to help solve three contemporary energy problems. The Guide to Reciprocating Engine Generators and Microgrids explores the growing role that reciprocating engine generators play in solving these three problems. Read More »
Introduction to Microgrids
Network downtimes, natural disasters and external attacks are just some of the reasons why a grid-connected facility may need to become temporarily independent. ABB‘s microgrid solutions enable a smooth transition to “islanded” mode, continually supplying stable, high-quality power with 100 percent peak renewable penetration. ABB is the pioneer and world-leader in microgrid solutions. Read More »
Microgrid Financing
State regulatory bodies are realizing that out-of-date regulatory rules are limiting Microgrid adoption and are working to change regulation. States such as New York, Connecticut, and Minnesota have allocated funding and started conversations on how best to change the state regulation to allow for Microgrids to be adopted. Read More »
Energy Storage in Smart Microgrids
All power systems also require the capability to balance, in real time, differences between load demand and generator output. This balancing capability—which keeps system frequency at the level where it’s designed to operate—is critical to ensure the stability and reliability of the overall power system, for both centralized power grids as well as microgrids. In a centralized grid, fossil-fuel-fired generating plants typically will ramp up or down to ensure demand and generation output remains in balance. Read More »
