Microgrid solutions help sustain the future of energy and ensure reliable power supplies to meet customer demands.
Microgrids are decentralized energy systems consisting of a combination of renewable power generation, power storage and conventional power generation in order to meet a given demand. A microgrid may be off-grid or on-grid, and a centralized controller is in place to optimize the way the system operates.
mtu microgrid systems offer a wide variety of solutions and service products. And each can be individually designed to serve specific needs. Special microgrid services include consulting, planning, the single-source supply of hardware and software, as well as installation and maintenance.
mtu microgrid solutions range from stand-alone battery storage to fully integrated hybrid systems.
Demand charge reduction
Reduce your grid stability power demand by storing power and/or using gensets to lower demand charges which are typically based on the single highest grid stability power draw (in kW) per year.
Frequency regulation services
Provide services to grid system operators – via utility companies or energy traders – such as frequency containment reserve, frequency restoration reserve, etc. to support grid frequency.
Genset flexibilization
Enable your gensets to accept large load steps and bridge startup times by adding battery storage. In this way, a genset power plant can be upgraded for off-grid operation or backup power.
Off-grid energy supply
Provide electricity in areas where no grid is available, or reduce your fuel consumption (and hence electricity costs) for existing power plants in off-grid settings by adding renewable energy sources and storage.
EV charging integration
Enable business cases concerning electrification of the transportation sector by providing extra power during certain periods when charging of multiple vehicles exceeds the grid capacity. Match local renewable energy generation and car charging to provide true green charging.
Genset dispatch optimization
Reduce your genset runtime and boost genset efficiency by providing spinning reserve from batteries and intelligent load sharing between gensets and batteries whenever gensets are in operation.
Grid limitation management
Overcome consumer-side limitations on desired load increase (e.g. factory expansion) due to limited grid connection capacities. Batteries and/or gensets can cover your additional grid stability power loads.
Self-consumption & self-sufficiency
Put local power generation units such as solar arrays or CHP plants in place, and use your own power ‘behind the meter’ instead of feeding it into the grid. Increase your self-sufficiency even further by adding
battery storage.
