Market Summary
• Microgrid provides an alternative to traditional energy generation and distribution. Using smart grid technologies, it enables integrated control of distributed power generation assets operating either in connection with the main grids or “islanded” from the utility power grid.
• Issues of unreliable power quality, increased focus on renewable energy, need for rural electrification, focus on higher efficiency have resulted in more emphasis on developing microgrid infrastructure.
• Microgrid or embedded generation would reduce the strain on the national grid, reduce carbon footprint, reduce wastage from transmission, and improve power quality and reliability. Thus embedded generation is likely to have more market opportunities, especially when there are more microgrid sites set up and where the automation system improves.
• The market in Asia Pacific is in its nascent stage but substantial growth is expected in the forecast period buoyed by increased government funding. Countries such as Japan and Australia that are able to generate additional power based on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are likely to increase microgrid adoption.

Market Summary (Cont’d…)
• APAC countries do not have set policies on microgrid which has limited the rapid adoption of microgrid. However, countries such as Australia, Singapore, Malaysia have imposed policies on embedded generation above a certain power range in order to reduce the stress on the national grid.
• Many pilot projects are underway in the focus countries aimed at proof testing the feasibility of microgrid solutions and possible large scale rollout of microgrid projects in the future.
• The microgrid markets are attracting many companies from different industries: IT solution players, inverter companies, telecommunication start-ups, engineering companies, renewable companies, defense contractors, and power plant operators.

Microgrid Solution Segmentation
Power Source Automation
• Automation of micro-turbines and other generation sources according to the demand the grid power prices.
Energy Management System
• Management of loads (turning on heavy load when prices are lowers, lighting management etc.).
Modeling and Simulation Tools
• A stimulation platform of incorporating power system and control models with external hardware systems.
• It could represent the dynamic behavior of microgrid during grid connected and off-grid operations; both in balanced and unbalanced conditions.
Demand/ Response System
• Response to increase demand through increased generation or through grid power.
• Supplying power to the grid when load is lower.• Isolating least important loads when demand is high.
Energy Trading Platforms
• Platform for trading of energy generated by micro sources.
