Rural Neighborhood Chooses Off-Grid Microgrids
While the Silvies Ranch uses off-grid microgrids, the Humless system also works with grid-tied projects, including virtual power plants, where microgrids buy and sell power from the grid. Humless technology also is used for load shifting and time-of-use applications in grid-tied projects. The Humless system can work with any solar PV system.
Lifelong control of off-grid microgrid with model-based
Off-grid microgrids are receiving a growing interest for rural electrification purposes in developing countries due to their ability to ensure affordable, sustainable and reliable energy services. Off-grid microgrids rely on renewable energy sources (RES) coupled with storage systems to supply the electrical consumption. The inherent uncertainty introduced by

1) Will the microgrid be connected to the main power grid? If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.
Microgrid Controller
The grid is divided into four off-grid microgrids. The focus of this presentation is about three of the microgrids that are very similar in size and operation. Each of these microgrids includes two PV generation (total 6 MW), two battery storages (total 5MW, ~18 MWh), and two emergency backup diesel generators (~ total 3.8 MW).
The benefits of sharing in off-grid microgrids: A case study in the
