Microgrid Design & Delivery
Reliable power, built around your site
A microgrid is a local power network that manages generation, storage and distribution for a defined site or group of buildings. It can operate independently of the electricity grid or be designed to work alongside it.
MyEnergy Engineering designs and delivers microgrids for remote communities, agriculture, mining, tourism, commercial facilities and critical infrastructure. We bring solar, batteries, generators, distribution and controls together as one working system, designed around the power the site needs every day.
Power that responds to real operating demands
A microgrid needs to do more than meet an average daily energy figure. It must handle peak loads, motor starts, changing weather, equipment faults and periods when generators need to take over.
We start by understanding how the site operates: what must stay powered, when demand is highest, how power needs may grow and what support is available at the location. From there, we develop a system architecture and operating strategy suited to the project.
Depending on the site, a microgrid may include:
- Solar generation and battery storage
- Multiple inverter systems
- Automatic generator start and integration
- Grid connection and backup operation
- Switchboards and site distribution
- Load management and system controls
- Remote monitoring and alerts
The right mix depends on reliability requirements, site conditions, fuel logistics and the cost of connecting to or upgrading the grid.
From feasibility to ongoing support
MyEnergy can take a microgrid project from the first load assessment through to detailed design, procurement, installation and commissioning. Our in-house engineering and installation teams work together so the completed system follows the design intent and can be maintained over its operating life.
Our capability includes energy modelling, equipment sizing, control strategy, protection and distribution design, generator integration, site works, system testing and operator handover. We can also provide remote monitoring, service and upgrades after commissioning.
For remote projects, equipment can be assembled in cabinets, skids or containers where appropriate, reducing the amount of integration work required on site.
Experience where reliable power matters
MyEnergy has delivered off-grid and hybrid power systems across Australia and the South Pacific since 2010. Our projects include power systems for remote stations, communities, agricultural operations and tourism facilities.
At Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, MyEnergy delivered a large hybrid power system combining solar generation, battery storage, multiple inverter systems and generators. It demonstrates the level of coordination needed when a remote operation depends on its own power supply.
Let’s plan your microgrid
Whether you are developing a new remote site, replacing diesel generation or improving power reliability at an existing facility, we can help define the loads, assess the options and develop a system that fits the way you operate.
