Based on the micro-grid concept, Mosaic Energy offers localized groupings of electricity generation, energy storage, and power loads that operate in conjunction with traditional centralized grids (macro-grid). The single point of common coupling with the macro-grid can be disconnected should it become unreliable. The Mosaic Energy micro-grid can then function autonomously. In a Mosaic Energy micro-grid, generation and loads are usually interconnected at distribution voltage. From the point of view of the grid operator, a connected micro-grid can be controlled as if it was one entity. Management of Mosaic Energy micro-grids is achieved using IEC61850 and other communication standards over a wide range of telecommunications infrastructures.

Mosaic Energy micro-grid generation resources can include wind, solar or other energy sources, and can use fossil generation for backup purposes. The multiple dispersed generation sources and the ability to isolate Mosaic Energy micro-grids from the larger network provide high quality and highly reliable electric power.

Distributed Power - Advanced Power & Energy Control Center benefits:
Modular Design, incrementally expandable, low installation costs,

Wind, solar and storage use a common DC bus,  avoids redundant inverter equipment and unnecessary conversions between DC and AC  and associated inefficiencies.  

Works grid interactively, but with the grid isolation feature it can fall back to a Micro Grid mode in the event of a power failure allowing local power delivery from local available sources. This fall back when there is transmission loss on the nation grid can serve the local community or it can be more granular targeting critical requirements such as hospitals, government buildings and critical industry requirements. This is a fundamental feature of distributed power generation.

This solution delivers power and frequency stability and demand response consistent with base load generation solutions.
