4 FAQs about Bahrain community microgrids

What is a community microgrid?

“a group of coordinated local energy resources, such as solar-photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems, designed to serve the energy demand of a local community. Community microgrids operate within a clearly defined boundary with the ability to operate in standalone mode, without the energy supply from the main grid.

How can microgrid communities increase sustainability in future energy systems?

To increase sustainability in future energy systems, both technical and social measures must be taken. Microgrid communities offer local balancing of supply and demand, while also integrating the community as an active part of the energy system.

How can we help communities build and operate microgrids?

Using our technical, regulatory and policy expertise on community energy systems, we can assist these communities to build and operate microgrids. This website provides vital information on microgrid planning, design, and other relevant aspects (business models, policy and regulatory aspects).

How to choose a microgrid site?

Along with the microgrid site selection, it is vital to explore the optimal control, optimal microgrid component sizing, and the operation of microgrids with different renewable energy technologies and storage systems to find the best design choices if the microgrid is installed at a given location.
