What is energy storage in a hybrid microgrid?
Energy storage systems are a key component in a hybrid microgrid and guarantee short-term backup power. Caterpillar can provide on-site energy storage systems to help stabilize transient loads, supply and absorb alternating current (AC) power, increase renewable energy source utilization, and transfer energy from time-of-generation to time-of-use.
What is a microgrid system?
A microgrid is a small network that primarily consists of multiple micro-sources, energy storage devices, and loads. The microgrid system can function in islanded or grid-connected modes. Frequency regulation of microgrids in isolated mode is normally handled by storage systems and diesel generators.
What is a microgrid generator?
Our range of diesel and natural gas generators are suited for all microgrid power generation requirements, ranging from 15 - 3,750 kVA. Advanced Microgrid Controls support multiple configurations and design implementation solutions to adapt to your evolving microgrid requirements. A microgrid generator is a power source used in microgrids.
Can distributed generators be used in a microgrid?
Thus far, various distributed generators (DGs) using renewable energy have been widely applied in modern power system, particularly in microgrid which can connect/disconnect from the power grid to operate in either grid-connected mode or island mode [7, 8].
What is a cat microgrid?
Cat microgrids integrate renewable power sources with generators, energy storage, and advanced control systems. Generator power makes the system resilient and reliable, but the ability to store and tap renewable energy means less generator use, higher efficiency, lower emissions, and lower fuel expense.
Can a microgrid be scaled?
Researchers are constructing a scaled model of the microgrid by employing power and controller hardware to represent the distributed energy resources—including a large PV plant, energy storage systems, and diesel generators— while other circuit components are virtually represented in a model on real-time digital simulators.
