Microgrid Inverter Technologies
Developing innovative inverter control techniques that improve the overall response of microgrids during both normal operation and grid disturbances . |
Competitive Advantage • Pioneering inverter control schemes that enhance the reliability and resilience of microgrids , and are suitable for a wide range of load types
Impact • Microgrids can support the utilisation of existing renewable resources , as well as the integration of distributed generation – keeping them available helps improve the reliability of supply and reduces both cost and risk
• Their suitability for small-scale microgrids and portable , mobile systems , makes these technologies ideal in disaster relief and other rapid deployment needs
Successful Applications • The inverter control technology is currently under review by LECO , the electrical distribution operator in Colombo , Sri Lanka
