What is a Microgrid?

A Microgrid is a localized group of electricity sources and sinks (loads) that typically operates connected to and synchronous with the traditional centralized grid (macro-grid), but can also disconnect and maintain operation autonomously or go completely off-grid as per the requirement.

How does a Microgrid work?

 

To understand how a Microgrid works, you first have to understand how the grid works.

The grid connects homes, businesses and other buildings to central power sources, which allow us to use appliances, heating/cooling systems and electronics. But this interconnectedness means that when part of the grid needs to be repaired, everyone is affected. This is where a Microgrid can help. A Microgrid generally operates while connected to the grid, but importantly, it can break off and operate on its own using local energy generation in times of crisis like storms or power outages, or for other reasons.


A Microgrid can be powered by distributed generators, batteries, and/or renewable resources like solar panels. Depending on how it’s fuelled and how its requirements are managed, a Microgrid might run indefinitely.

Ecosense’s provided the following customized converters:

1. Boost Converter

2. Buck Converter

3. Bidirectional Converter

4. Three Phase inverter

which matches Client’s specifications and control along with the programmable three phase RLC Load.

Ecosense supplied Customised Converters with Programmable RLC Load to NIT Goa to conduct their research on Microgrid.

The way forward

After initial tests the client will implement these converters and loads in their existing research setup.
