Case Study: Entrust Microgrid LLP
Posted on
ENTRUST MICROGRID LLP
Entrust Microgrid is a newly formed Limited Liability Partnership for research, system design and product development, professional training and consulting services in smart grid/micro-grid and renewable energy technologies. The organisation has a particular focus on smart microgrids with hybrid DC and AC networks for built environment with embedded renewable energy systems.
PROJECT
The project aimed to develop a smart microgrid for the built environment, with a view to convert fluctuated and uncontrollable renewable energy sources to controllable power output, and, to reduce grid connection capacity and cost of embedded renewable power systems and maximise self-consumption of the renewable power generation. The developed system reduced the costs of connecting renewables to the grid, delivering tangible benefits to the end-users and the public. It is hoped that the project will enable further large scale development of distributed renewable energy systems for communities and will contribute significantly to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction.
