Digital Twins for Microgrids
With the increasing use of renewable energy, microgrids now have higher flexibility requirements and are becoming more complex. DTs are powerful tools capable of improving the simulated efficiency of multiple aspects of microgrids with high-performance IoT communication, rich modeling exchanges, and AI-based optimization.

Making microgrids work:
Africa''s largest microgrid project in Equatorial Guinea''s Annobon Province, for example, provides stable, reliable and consistent power supply to the island, The Department of Energy (DOE) microgrid exchange group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DER) within clearly defined
What are microgrids?
Cost savings: Microgrids help cut energy costs by using local renewable energy sources. By incorporating advanced UPSs, they can work with the main grid to balance and optimize energy usage. This means they can use energy from the grid during off-peak times and switch to microgrid-stored and distributed energy during peak times, leading to
Strengthening Mission-Critical Microgrids with a Battery Energy
Microgrids can rely on any number of energy sources for local power generation, including but not limited to battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar panels, thermal energy storage, combined heat and power, wind power, fuel cells, and reciprocating engine generators. This white paper will examine the benefits of a BESS and factors that
Download the Case Studies
Learn how two microgrids successfully navigated the road to clean energy while cutting costs and keeping the power on. Two case studies from UL Solutions – one California hospital and one Cape Cod municipal operations center – illustrate how HOMER® Grid modeling software can help you turn complex optimization challenges into winning distributed generations systems.
