Microgrid Advisory and Engineering
Key Decisions SgurrEnergy Supports
Load profile
Why: Microgrid design starts with load shape, critical loads, growth and reliability requirements. How: Load assessment, demand profile review and critical load classification.
Technology mix
Why: Solar, wind, BESS, diesel, grid imports and backup systems must be balanced. How: Technology mix review, sizing and operating philosophy.
Controls and islanding
Why: Microgrids need control systems that manage grid-connected and islanded operation. How: Control philosophy, protection, SCADA, EMS and islanding review.
Reliability and resilience
Why: Microgrids must operate through outages, weak-grid events and renewable variability. How: Reliability assessment, storage sizing, redundancy review and contingency analysis.
Commercial and emissions value
Why: Microgrids must justify CAPEX, fuel savings, emissions reduction and reliability value. How: Economic review, diesel displacement analysis and lifecycle risk assessment.
