Also known as “cogeneration,” CHP systems generate electrical power while capturing thermal energy that would otherwise be wasted. The captured heat is applied to on-site loads, creating a highly efficient, reliable, and resilient district energy system.
Microgrids connect using a Point of Common Coupling (PCC), ensuring safe, efficient power exchange with the main grid through protective devices and controls.
At its core, a microgrid is a localized energy system that can operate independently from the main grid when needed. It typically includes one or more sources of electricity such as solar panels, wind turbines, or generators, and may include battery storage or other technologies.
By incorporating renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and advanced control systems, microgrids help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote the use of clean and sustainable energy sources.
Implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kazakhstan, the project with a total budget of EUR 6 million aims to enhance grid efficiency, mitigate energy losses, and reduce dependence on coal-based power generation.

PV-VR is an application that uses a scale model of the PART lab for educational interactive lab tours in virtual reality (VR). The actual PV solar power plant is virtualized and virtual representations of all the objects in the plant are inserted into the application.
Explore the crucial role of energy storage in microgrids, including how it provides backup power, improves the use of renewable energy, and supports hybrid power solutions. Learn how advanced energy control systems optimize microgrid performance.
This work presents a novel approach to wide-area damping control (WADC) for clustered microgrids, addressing inter-area oscillations and enhancing system stability.
In 2026, the installed cost of a 100kWh commercial lithium battery energy storage system typically falls within the following range: USD 180 – 380 per kWh (installed) Total system cost: USD 18,000 – 38,000.
The primary objective of dynamic supply-demand balancing in microgrids is to ensure continuous power quality and system stability while maximizing the utilization of renewable energy resources and minimizing operational costs.
Advanced microgrids enable balancing energy supply and demand locally within defined boundaries even when the larger grid experiences interruptions. They are a vital solution for remote areas with no connection to the grid.
The German Government and the European Union launch in Kampala the GET ACCESS Mini-grid Solar Programme, a 35 million Euro initiative to support the electrification of Uganda's rural areas and contribute to the transition towards renewable energy.
The energy storage system is essentially a straightforward plug-and-play system which consists of a lithium LiFePO4 battery pack, a lithium solar charge controller, and an inverter for the voltage requested. Price is $387,400 each (for 500KWH Bank) plus freight.
