Micro-Grid & Storage Solutions

Victoria's Energy Future - Micro-Grids

Localised microgrids and distributed energy are gaining in popularity. Microgrids and smart energy systems are allowing implementers to not only produce their own energy but also share it with neighbours all the while providing the possibility of grid independence to individual end-user sites.


GES microgrid solutions offers a wide variety of applications and service products, each individually designed to meet your specific needs. You can operate an independent power system that prevent blackouts, optimize operation cost and protect people and equipment during short circuit event with GES microgrid solutions.

What is a Micro-grid

A micro-grid has the capability to operate autonomously through the generation and storage of electricity and seeks to effectively and efficiently consume electricity. This improves energy reliability while reducing costs and providing a cleaner, healthier environment.


A microgrid integrates emerging technologies which can include solar and wind generation, battery storage and EV charging with the implementation of smart meters and other micro-grid management system.


Microgrids comprise Low Voltage (LV) distribution systems with distributed energy sources, such as micro-turbines, fuel cells, PVs, etc., together with storage devices, i.e. flywheels, energy capacitors and batteries, and controllable loads, that behave as a coordinated entity, thus offering considerable control capabilities over the network operation. These systems are interconnected to the Medium Voltage Distribution network, but they can be also operated isolated from the main grid, in case of faults in the upstream network. Thus, Microgrids can provide network support in times of stress by relieving congestions and aiding restoration after faults. From the customer point of view, Microgrids provide thermal and electricity needs, and in addition enhance reliability, reduce emissions, improve power quality by supporting voltage and reducing voltage dips, and potentially lower costs of energy supply.


Organizations of all kinds can benefit from implementing microgrid:

  • University buildings
  • Rural/remote towns
  • Islands
  • Manufacturing
  • Utility Companies
  • Local Government
  • Data Centres
  • Hospitals
  • Multi-Tenanted Buildings
  • Not for Profit
  • Car Parks
  • Businesses
  • and Households

Key Benefits:

  • Keep the lights on- Microgrid controls allow you to seamlessly separate (or island) from the central grid, which ensures reliable and resilient energy delivery no matter the conditions.
  • Automate generation dispatch to maximize economic benefits— Microgrids use a dispatch engine to forecast the microgrid load profile and determine the optimal generation dispatch, accounting for operational constraints such as fuel costs, the weather, the state of charge mode, and energy import/export costs.
  • Facilitate renewable energy integration—Select and prioritize the best mix of renewable and non-renewable energy resources to support local demand.
