Microgrids will significantly advance the cause of sustainability. Microgrids provide increased efficiency and safety in addition to affordable and environmentally friendly local power generation and supply. As a result, your business can become more energy independent and is less likely to experience main grid power outages. GE's Microgrid solutions can help lowering running costs while also supporting environmental aims.

What is a microgrid?

According to the US DOE Microgrid Exchange Group, “A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) with clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single, controllable entity with respect to the grid.”

Build reliable power supplies - tailored exactly to your needs.

Ports

To supplement limitations in port grid capacity, and to reduce GHG and noise pollution, ports are introducing renewables (PV, wind, investment in H2-based fuels). Adoption of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and advanced energy management systems is additionally leading ports to further create their own microgrids. Learn more...
