    Very true……i have always believed that micro grids will bridge the energy divide, provide solutions until the large ‘mega’ grid arrives and also ginger a revolution in research & development that would see the eventual ‘convergence’ of micro & macro or mega in the form of true robust smart grids

    Interesting insights, and i definitely echo your sentiments on microgrids as a leapfrog technology, analogous to mobile phones. Nevertheless, i wouldn’t underestimate the complexity of “Stitching together” the microgrids for bottom-up universal electrification. What standards exist (or need to exist) for distributed energy resources in developing countries? What products are emerging with open-architecture solutions for greater connectivity?

    Cost of manufacturing can be a deffering factor in remote areas. Most rural places have not the Resources to implement most of what is being offered. This day & age power is needed to just keep up with the rest of the world. Every little bit of help of any sort is sorely needed to those who need it. We all have resourses that can be used resoursouly if it can be managed by people in the know.

    Dr. Willson regarding about the micro grid, in the philippines its to much needed the source of enegry, but the resuerces was a lot of them but power energy it’s not enough to consumed and sustained needs of people thats way they creat a coal powerplant. Your scope is good and ecoinviromental project its good for bussiness in our country now is under developing country. But my question is: its capable for all weather condition like typon or other eregularities about the weather condition. Thanks you your idea. I get a more knowedleged of your project a micro- grid it’s good and nice to developed in my country. beacuse to much dipresed area without electricity or power line. I salute of you Thanks you again and more power.
