4 FAQs about Microgrid hot start

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode. Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances.

Why do we need advanced microgrids?

In addition, advanced microgrids allow local assets to work together to save costs, extend duration of energy supplies, and produce revenue via market participation. Caterpillar is deploying a 750-kW microgrid on the island of Guam—a challenging deployment environment because of the island power grid and extreme weather phenomena.

How can microgrids improve customer reliability and resilience?

Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances. Advanced microgrids enable local power generation assets—including traditional generators, renewables, and storage—to keep the local grid running even when the larger grid experiences interruptions or, for remote areas, where there is no connection to the larger grid.

How is microgrid operation validated?

Microgrid operation was validated in a power hardware-in-the-loop experiment using a programmable DC power supply to emulate the battery and a grid simulator to emulate the Guam grid-tie point. The validation scenarios included grid disturbances approaching 1 MW.
