Microgrids Market Potential Research Report

May 21, 2009 - PRLog -- A research report published by Energy Business Reports, entitled "Microgrids Market Potential," analyzes microgrid power supply networks where solar panels or wind turbines power the system.

A microgrid can be described as a small-scale power supply network, designed to provide power to a few buildings or a small community. Microgrids bear the promise of substantial environmental benefits, brought about by higher energy efficiency and by facilitating the integration of renewable sources such as wind power and solar power via solar panels (photovoltaic arrays) and wind turbines.
By virtue of good match between clean power generation using solar panels and wind turbines, and load, microgrids have a low impact on the electricity network. In addition, there is a potentially significant level of generation by intermittent energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, making microgrids powerful systems.

There is no doubt that, in the long term, microgrid technology will become more competitive as the price of fossil fuels rise due to their ever growing demand worldwide. Microgrids will become commonplace as solar panels (photovoltaic arrays) and wind turbines become more widely used.

Other Topics covered in this report include:Introduction to Microgrids; Recent Developments and R&D Activities; Factors Impacting Microgrid Development; and Case Studies of Microgrid Power Systems.
