Micro-Grid & Storage Solutions

Australia 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 microgrid can operate independently by generating and storing its own electricity, aiming to consume energy effectively and efficiently. This enhances energy reliability, reduces costs, and creates a cleaner, healthier environment.

At the forefront of modern energy solutions, microgrids incorporate advanced technologies such as solar and wind power generation, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging. These innovations are complemented by implementing smart meters and other management systems, making microgrids a cutting-edge energy solution.

Microgrids consist of Low Voltage (LV) distribution systems that include distributed energy resources like micro-turbines, fuel cells, and photovoltaics, along with storage solutions such as flywheels, energy capacitors, and batteries. These elements and controllable loads function as a coordinated unit, offering significant control over network operations. These systems connect to the Medium Voltage Distribution network but can also operate independently from the primary grid during upstream network faults. As such, microgrids can provide network support during stress by alleviating congestion and facilitating restoration after disturbances. From customers' perspective, microgrids meet thermal and electrical needs and enhance reliability, reduce emissions, improve power quality by supporting voltage levels, and mitigate voltage dips, potentially lowering energy supply costs.

Organisations of all kinds can benefit from implementing microgrids:

  • 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, ensuring 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—Identify and prioritise the optimal combination of renewable and conventional energy sources to effectively meet local demand.
