Profitable Development of Central Power Sources

The ‘Microgrid’ is an integrated energy system consisting of distributed energy resources and multiple electrical loads operating as a single, autonomous grid – either in ‘grid-connected’ or ‘islanded’ mode, depending on the existing utility power grid. The key factors influencing the emergence of microgrid solutions are the vulnerability of energy infrastructure to cyber threats, growing energy demand, the need for reliable and secure power, and external incentives. A microgrid is the end state of an energy modernization effort that will alter how businesses and consumers utilize power sources. The benefits will accrue to the end user, utility and the public overall, the challenge is the process of execution. This course will aim at providing key reasoning sources to develop and operate further microgrid systems for increasing energy demands. The result could provide a solution that enhances reliability, efficiency, security, quality and sustainability for energy consumers and producers alike.
