In most developed countries, having reliable and affordable electricity is taken for granted, but 1.2 billion people around the world live in areas without centralized electricity supply, accounting for approximately 16% of the global population.
Small-scale power grids, or microgrids, are rapidly emerging as a solution to this challenge, thereby meeting this basic modern need in underdeveloped parts of the world. Microgrids are small networks that can independently power a facility or community.
Microgrids typically use renewable resources like solar and wind to produce most of their electricity in a clean and affordable way, supplementing wind turbines or solar panels with battery power and diesel generators when the wind is calm or cloudy.
Brown Group enables microgrids to seamlessly coordinate all these different power sources, a key requirement in replacing centralized power sources.
With our breakthrough solutions that help microgrids realize their full potential, we see a bright future where electricity is available to all.
