Should banks invest in microgrids?
With solar prices below 20 cents/W and lithium-ion batteries under $200/kWh, it is possible for microgrids to cost effectively deliver energy in the countries where Husk operates, according to Sinha. However, Sinha noted that microgrids are not yet appealing to banks.
Why are microgrids so expensive?
Historically, microgrids have been more expensive than traditional power grids due to their use of utility-scale technology that is downsized, according to Bruce Nordman, a research scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
What is the future of Microgrid technology?
According to Nordman, the future of Microgrid technology lies in making it more modular, widespread, and inexpensive so that people could potentially purchase generation or storage systems and bring them home to use.
Should a distributed energy resource management system be a single-customer microgrid?
According to Nordman, a single-customer microgrid is a better approach for distributed energy resource management systems. He suggests starting small and then scaling up to multicustomer microgrids when the technology becomes more sophisticated.
Will government incentives make microgrids a bankable financial asset?
Government incentives are becoming available in the microgrid segment in emerging economies but the cost of delivered energy is ultimately what will make microgrids a bankable financial asset. (Quote from Sinha)
