Cat microgrids integrate renewable power sources with generators, energy storage, and advanced control systems. Generator power makes the system resilient and reliable, but the ability to store and tap renewable energy means less generator use, higher efficiency, lower emissions, and lower fuel expense.
Energy storage systems are a key component in a hybrid microgrid and guarantee short-term backup power. Caterpillar can provide on-site energy storage systems to help stabilize transient loads, supply and absorb alternating current (AC) power, increase renewable energy source utilization, and transfer energy from time-of-generation to time-of-use.

Structure of typical microgrid energy management system. A microgrid has two operation modes, namely on-grid and off-grid operation. When a microgrid is detected to be islanding, or it needs to operate independently according to prevailing situation, it should rapidly disconnect from the public grid to switch into the off-grid operation mode.
A microgrid is a single controllable unit composed of distributed generation, energy storage, and load from an aspect of a system. The normal microgrid operation has on-grid and off-grid modes and on/off-grid and off/on-grid switching status.
