6 FAQs about [European Microgrid Project]
Who is involved in the European microgrid consortium?
The Consortium comprises major European manufacturers, power utilities and potential Microgrid operators and research teams with complementary, high quality expertise. Participants of the proposal have cooperated effectively in the previous EU Microgrids project acquiring significant know-how and gaining world-wide recognition in this field.
Why do we need more microgrids?
More microgrids aimed to increase the penetration of microgeneration in electrical networks by exploiting and extending the microgrids concept. The project achieved a great deal thanks to the in-depth investigation of new micro source, storage and load controllers for providing efficient microgrid operations.
What is a microgrid project?
The project will investigate, develop and demonstrate the operation, control, protection, safety and telecommunication infrastructure of MicroGrids and will determine and quantify their economic benefits. Operation and Control concepts in both stand-alone and interconnected mode on Laboratory MicroGrids will be demonstrated.
Can EU law facilitate the regulation of microgrid models?
The basic answer to this question is that EU law can facilitate the regulation of these microgrid models if existing rules are adapted to include microgrids.
Can microgrids help Ders in the electricity market?
Microgrids, however, have the potential to facilitate the integration of DERs in the electricity market (Warneryd et al., 2020). A microgrid is a decentralised grid which can disconnect from the main electricity grid and structure into ‘local sub-grids that manage their power and energy balancing’ (Pinto et al., 2021).
What is the regulatory approach to microgrids?
In addition, the regulatory approach towards microgrids depends on EU Member States granting energy communities the right to manage part of the distribution network, which now depends on the discretion of the Member States.
