Drivers

Growing need for Infrastructure to Support EV Charging:

• Due to the rapid proliferation of electric car (EV) charging systems, there is an increasing need for microgrids. Energy usage increases when more electric vehicles are used, particularly in places that are often crowded with charging points, creating pressure on transmission systems within the grids. However, microgrids offer a realistic option since they combine localized electricity generation and distribution which manage effectively enhanced requirements for energy brought about by EV charging points.

Integration of Smart Grid and Digitalisation:

• There are promising opportunities for the microgrid sector to grow at the convergence of digitalization and smart grid integration. Microgrids can achieve optimal energy management and optimization through the integration of smart grid infrastructure and state-of-the-art digital technology. Microgrids maximize energy generation, storage, and consumption by utilizing data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and real-time monitoring. This leads to increased energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Restraints

Complexities in Links between Grids:

• One major barrier preventing the global microgrid market from growing is the difficulties involved with connecting to the grid. There may be technical and administrative challenges when integrating microgrids with the current electrical system. In many cases, it is important to upgrade or modify the grid system to facilitate seamless integration of microgrids.

Challenges in Standardising Microgrid Scalability:

• Two significant obstacles to the growth of the microgrid market are scalability and standardization. To enhance scalability, it is important to ensure that microgrid solutions are usable in a variety of applications, sectors, and geographical locations. Different deployments might have their own specifications and features which need specific plans while keeping compatibility between systems, as well as interworking.
