Microgrids give us a way to supply ourselves with energy, in a reliable way and independent of the main network. Energy microgrid is a form of distributed power generation. This comes to replace or complement the centralised form that we know.

The idea is to avoid transporting energy over long distances. In this way we managed to minimize the losses due to the joule effect that are generated in the wires.

Historically these were powered by conventional power sources. The most used were fossil fuels.

Nowadays, more and more people are trying to minimize the generation of energy that is not favorable for the environment. This is how the use of renewable resources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, etc., is increased.

There are different types of microgrids. These can be used to serve from a single building to an entire community. The capacity of these networks can vary from 100KW to several MW.

The benefits of generating energy independently are:

• Different types of power generation can be combined. Part of the energy can be generated from renewable resources, these are not controllable, and another in a conventional way.

• When energy has to travel long distances, some of it is lost as heat. This generates that additional energy must be generated to compensate for these losses. If we minimize the distance, the losses are minimized. This means that less energy is required to meet the same level of demand.

• The thermal energy generated is generally released into the atmosphere without first taking advantage of it. If we generate energy near the consumption center, this thermal energy can be used. For example to heat water or environments.

• Power plants sometimes must build structures to meet peak demand. By complementing the plant with a microgrid, it takes care of satisfying the peaks.

• The microgrid gives more reliability to the network, since if the network suffers any interruption, the backup microgrid acts.

  
  
  

The different power generation devices that make up a microgrid must be monitored. All the devices can be connected to a single software in order to achieve a simpler monitoring of all these. For that it is used: “MICROGRIDS PLATFORM”. 

This software allows you to keep constant control of all the devices that are part of your micro network. Monitoring is done, and every 15 minutes data is extracted to carry out detailed control.

All these data obtained, have no use if an analysis of these is not done. Therefore, when using the “MICROGRIDS platform”, we offer a data analysis service. This includes: 

• Constant data extraction

• Analysis of these

• Analysis of possible risks

• Future predictions.

In addition, Greeneum wants to provide benefits to companies/individuals who leave their mark on the environment. Therefore, if the microgrid equipment does not generate gas emissions, all these Kwatts of clean energy generated are counted.  As all the equipment is connected to the same software, the amount of energy generated by the entire microgrid can be easily measured. From the KWatts of clean energy that you generate, GReeneum gives you benefits. Everything is automatically accounted for through the microgrid platform and the benefits obtained are calculated.

The benefits that can be obtained are:

• Green tokens

• Green Certificates

• NFT

“the more you help the more you receive”

With the green token, you can enter our market place to buy products with high discounts. Thus, a circle is achieved in which it is constantly growing. By generating clean energy, tokens are obtained and with these tokens it is possible to supply more equipment to expand the network. By expanding the network, more tokens are obtained and it is possible to be in permanent growth.
