Grid-tied electrical system

Direct Current (DC) electricity from sources such as hydro, wind or solar is passed to an inverter which is grid tied.

A key concept of this system is the possibility of creating an electrical micro-system that is not dependent on the grid-tie to provide a high level quality of service.

If the mains supply of the region is unreliable, the local generation system can be used to power important equipment.

Battery-to-grid can also spare the use of fossil fuel power plants to supply energy during peak loads on the public electric grid.

Local generation can be from an environmentally friendly source such as pico hydro, solar panels or a wind turbine.
