In a microGrid system, all system components such as battery inverter, diesel generator, PV solar array, wind-turbine, hydro-turbine etc. are connected together via the ac-network. This allows these components to be placed on any location on the property and also allows for easy expansion of the system. A system can start as a simple 5kW single phase stand alone system and grow into a large 3-phase network with multiple houses, multiple PV arrays and multiple wind-turbines connected.
Alphatron microGrid systems are used as stand-alone power systems or as distributed generation systems that are connected to the public grid at one common point. These distributed generation systems can be a cost effective solution for sub-divisions with limited capacity from the public grid (e.g. at the end of a line).
