Can DC-based microgrids be commercially and environmentally sustainable? How can local distribution grids be optimised in order to better manage local renewables and to ensure security of supply? How can the tech and the software be adapted to local contexts?

These are just some of the talking points at the hybrid workshop on the replication demo in Naantali, Finland, as part of the EU-funded TIGON project which has developed and enhanced software and hardware components for the roll-out of hybrid microgrids as part of the energy transition.

The showcase is one of two microgrid replication showcases under the TIGON project. It draws on the solutions developed at the project’s two demo hybrid microgrids in France and Spain.
The event aims to show the feasibility and potential of replicating TIGON’s developments to make microgrids reliable, resilient and cost-effective.
It will be of interest to various stakeholder groups, including DSOs, standardisation bodies, policy makers and technology providers.
Registration is open to attend either physically or online.


Background
TIGON is funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme and has a budget of roughly €7m. It forms part of the EU's broader policy of building a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.
