A microgrid generates exactly the amount of power required to guarantee an uninterrupted business or production process. The amount of power is always optimally aligned to the business process. If, for example, consumers need a power of 800 kVA and the rated output of the microgrid is 1100 kVA, the microgrid will generate 800 kVA (so not 1100 kVA).

What is the difference between a microgrid and a hybrid energy solution?
Microgrids are self-sufficient energy systems capable of generating their own power, traditionally via generator sets or turbines. Microgrids can operate independently or in conjunction with the electrical grid/utility. Hybrid energy solutions (HES) are microgrids that involve a combination of power sources.
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.
