MSc Hybrid Energy Supply System test is proceeding
14.11.2018
MSc HESS makes it easy to create an independent microgrid connecting available energy sources such as solar panels, modern diesel generators, batteries or supercapacitors. Microgrids are typically used in areas where centralized power grid is not available.
Hybrid system helps to reduce carbon emissions as the use of diesel generators can be minimized with smart control. MSc HESS automatically optimizes the energy supply by loading the batteries when there is more energy available from renewable sources than the current need. Diesel generator is only started when the needed capacity is not available from either renewable sources or batteries.
Currently system test is ongoing on MSc Tampere factory by testing different combinations of solar panel, battery, genset and supercapacitor during the winter. Solar panels were recently installed on the roof of MSc factory building. First customer deliveries should happen during the spring 2019.
