CONSIDERATIONS FOR MICROGRIDS WITH DISSIMILAR ENERGY SOURCES

September 3, 2022

CONSIDERATIONS FOR MICROGRIDS
As more renewable energy sources and battery storage
units are specified and incorporated into power systems,
consultant specifying engineers are faced with many
challenges which could impact the overall design and
performance of these solutions. This paper outlines and
addresses some of these challenges to aid in the system
design, explains some common components found in
microgrids, and discusses the value of an advanced
microgrid controller for system operation

FRED ENERGY

whitePaper | June 8, 2022

Due to supply and demand, this will contribute trillions of dollars to the energy corporates but will lead to above inflation price increases for consumers. The overall effects will be felt by all of us but those most vulnerable such as low-income earners and the elderly will be unable to meet the growing energy costs causing them to fall into what is termed “fuel poverty”. Energy suppliers are forecast to move towards greener alternative energy sources and this is great news for the environment, but it will have little effect on the consumer at cost level

Climate Change (clean Energy &Resource Scarcity)

whitePaper | March 30, 2023

Climate change threatens every walk of life, jeopardizing clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food, and secure shelter.1 It is also responsible for an acceleration of the melting of polar ice caps, longer and more severe wildfire seasons and more forceful hurricanes which threaten these basic human needsa

Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Containing the global rising temperatures to a 1.5 degrees increase requires lowering the CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere drastically. There are many talks to be walked in decarbonising society. Some need to be addressed individually, and others necessitate collaboration - collaboration across value chains and borders. With carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), leaps can be taken and barriers can be broken.

Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan

whitePaper | March 20, 2023

This Plan sets out the steps the Government is taking to ensure the UK is more energy independent, secure and resilient. Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine 12 months ago has put the need for energy security in stark perspective. Never again will we allow our energy security to be threatened.

Resilience for Sustainable, Inclusive Growth

whitePaper | May 4, 2022

Economies and societies are enduring several crises simultaneously, all of which have a major humanitarian impact and potentially long-lasting second- and third-order effects. Climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, a very weak recovery and the danger of stagflation and now Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pose urgent questions of organizational resilience that cannot be addressed in isolation. These world-shaping events overlap in time, magnifying their impact. The current era is increasingly defined by the interplay of complex disruptions, with their disparate origins and longterm consequences. Institutions are not fully prepared for the new reality. Many react separately to each disruption in all-consuming responses. Before they can recover, the next crisis is at the door.
