Mikrovõrkudes

Mikrovõrkudes, also known as microgrids, are localized energy grids that can disconnect from the traditional larger grid and operate autonomously. They are comprised of distributed energy resources such as generators, renewable energy sources like solar and wind, and energy storage systems. The primary benefit of mikrovõrkudes is their ability to enhance reliability and resilience. During widespread power outages, a mikrovõrk can island itself, continuing to supply power to its connected customers. This is particularly valuable for critical facilities like hospitals, military bases, and data centers.

Another key advantage is their potential to integrate renewable energy more effectively. By housing renewable sources within a smaller, controllable grid, fluctuations in supply can be better managed, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. Mikrovõrkudes can also improve energy efficiency and reduce transmission losses by generating power closer to where it is consumed. They offer greater control over energy costs for consumers within the microgrid, as they can optimize the use of different energy sources. The development of mikrovõrkudes is seen as a significant step towards modernizing energy infrastructure and achieving greater energy independence and sustainability.
