Feeders and Microgrids

An Introduction to Microgrids

Many microgrids use a combined heat and power (CHP) module, which has the ability to produce both electric energy and heat energy from the same fuel, thereby nearly doubling overall efficiency. Normal Mode Operation: CHP in parallel with 3 utility feeders. Hot water from CHP used by hospital HVAC; Emergency Mode Operation: Diesel standby
