A village in Togo saw the launch of a new microgrid project, the Tomorrow''s Connected Community, developed by BBOXX, which aims to unlock the economic potential of entire communities. The project looks to promote the concept of ''communities of the future'' and is being rolled out in the rural village of Sikpé Afidégnon in Togo.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are the most highly developed option in size, performance, and cost. A broad ecosystem of manufacturers, system integrators, and complete system providers supports Li-ion technology. However, the vendors best equipped to bring value to microgrids bring the right components to each project.
Another use case for battery storage on microgrids is aggregating BESS as a virtual power plant (VPP) to correct imbalances in the utility grid. At the grid level, when the supply of power from renewables temporarily drops, utilities need to respond quickly to maintain equilibrium between supply and demand and stabilize the grid frequency.
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.
Volatile energy markets, utility grid disruptions, and the rising awareness of climate change have created new energy challenges that require innovative answers. As a result, many organizations are embracing microgrids as a solution to the mounting problems.
To reduce energy costs, a facility with a microgrid can leverage a BESS to store power from variable renewable energy (VRE) sources, such as solar or wind, and then substitute the stored energy for utility power when utility rates are highest in an attempt to arbitrage.
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.

Go Microgrid installed battery storage for our existing solar system. Aaron was super easy to communicate with and responsive. He is a great problem-solver and he could not have made it easier for us. He took care of all the paperwork and permits. He or his crew showed up when scheduled and they got the work done quickly. I loved working with his small, local business.
