4 FAQs about Kingston microgrid economics

Is microgrid reliant on private sector?

As there is an on-going transition from large scale power plant (usually state-owned) to small scale decentralised generations, the acceptance of microgrid is more reliant on private sectors compared to the traditional scenario.

Does a microgrid installation benefit from economies of scale?

While making a commercial decision regarding renewable energy microgrid installation, the life cycle cost is not the only concern; whether an installation can benefit from economies of scale is also critical. The effect of savings due to economies of scale is usually measured by the economies of the scale factor.

Who can invest in microgrids?

Unlike in traditional large-scale electricity generation (primarily coal and natural gas), where only the utility investors have to pay attention to grid economics, with microgrids any individual can be an investor given the small-scale and distributed nature of the technology.

What are the standards for microgrids?

There are a number of applicable standards to microgrids, such as IEEE 1547 Criteria and requirements for interconnection of DERs with the main grid and EN 50160 Voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by public distribution networks.
