| | Microgrids enter the mainstream | | Microgrids offer a flexible, modular and scalable solution |
| | For many years local power generation – typically based on diesel generators – has been the standard way to deliver power to islands, remote communities or industrial sites. However, recent years have seen growing awareness and interest in factors such as grid resilience, environmental impact and fossil fuel price volatility, leading energy service providers and end-customers to take a closer look at microgrids. By combining a range of generation sources with energy storage and intelligent load management, microgrids provide reliable, economic and green power supply. They can also be used as black start power or to bolster the grid during periods of heavy demand. | | >> Read more |

| | Microgrids can fly | | The story of Solar Impulse 2 | | This story isn’t about typical land-based microgrid communities — this is about a microgrid in the sky. Solar Impulse 2 is a solar powered airplane without fuel that is setting records by flying around the world. A plane flying around the world only on electricity produced from sunshine could be considered a flying microgrid. | | >> Find out why |
