Will microgrids help Thailand decarbonise its energy sector?

As Thailand moves to decarbonise its energy sector, the role of microgrids and other distributed energy resources is expected to play an increasingly important role.

Does Hitachi ABB power grids have a battery energy storage system?

“Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ battery energy storage system (BESS) is a critical part of Impact Solar Group’s plans to develop a more sustainable and resilient industrial park, said YepMin Teo, senior vice president, Asia Pacific, Hitachi ABB Power Grids, Grid Automation.

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

The advanced microgrid is digitally-enabled to integrate the electricity produced from distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar, and simulates a utility scale power system. Using real-time automation information, the microgrid will manage and optimise the power output of DERs from across the entire industrial park.

Is Hitachi ABB power grids supplying Bess to Singapore's VPP project?
