Project Details
This Hybrid Micro grid was installed to provide power for this off-grid community of about 150 households in the remote area of Rivers state. This is a scalable system. The components used for the installation are all Solar Force products. Smart meters was installed to give a pre-set peak power for each household.
Benefits of Project
This project took electricity and followed economic growth to a community that has never been connected to national grid.
- It improves the livelihood and economic activity of the community
- Produce energy to generate electricity
- It has long lifespan and very minimal maintenance cost
- With the environments lightened up, security risk is reduced in the area
Technologies What We Used
Micro Grid Solar Power System
A micro grid or isolated grid”, is a set of electricity generators and possibly energy storage systems interconnected to a distribution network that supplies electricity to a localized community that may not have access to grid for many years. Often, micro grid involves multiple energy sources like solar, wind, water or fuel as a way of incorporating renewable power. It operates independently from the main power grid.
