Turks and Caicos Islands renewable energy microgrids

Microgrid Technology: What Is It and How It Works?

Hybrid systems utilize continuous duty energy storage (such as a battery energy storage system) and distributed energy resources, including renewable energy, to have immediately available power and are "always on" in contrast to a stranded asset, such as a diesel generator. Gensets are not a backup power source that is in continuous operation.
