A microgrid is a localized energy system with defined electrical boundaries that operates both connected to the traditional utility grid and independently. It integrates distributed energy resources, including solar, wind, and storage, with intelligent control systems, serving facilities such as campuses or communities.
The China microgrid market holds the largest market share in the region on account of rapid economic growth, industrialization and urbanization. This drives a surge in energy demand, leading to make microgrid a cost-effective and scalable solution to expand energy access across both remote and urban areas.
Schneider Electric, a leader in the microgrid industry, has revealed a notable rise in its 2024 third-quarter sales, with organic growth hitting 8% year-over-year to reach a record USD 9.7 billion. At the Alliance for Rural Electrification Energy Access Investment Forum 2024, Schneider Electric released Villaya Flex, a microgrid solution.
DC microgrids require fewer wires than AC grids. Depending on the system architecture, a DC link uses two- or three-wire connections vs. the five-wire cabling in AC grids. Fewer wire connections and fewer power converters can result in as much as 50% copper savings, along with reduced installation costs.
This paper introduces DC microgrids, their implementation in industrial applications, and several Texas Instruments (TI) reference designs that help enable efficient implementations.
