BALANCING ACT: Electricity demand and generation near Onslow, in Western Australia, are continuously balanced thanks to a software-based microgrid controller. It monitors grid conditions at the millisecond scale, allowing efficient use of a 1-megawatt solar farm [left] and a 2.5-MW battery storage facility [middle]. A similar microgrid controller on Jeju Island in South Korea [right] maximizes the use of wind power, despite its intermittency.

软件定义的电网：软件和传感器如何将百年历史的电网技术带入现代


平衡法：借助基于软件的微电网控制器，西澳大利亚州昂斯洛附近的电力需求和发电量得以持续平衡。它以毫秒级监控电网状况，从而有效利用 1 兆瓦太阳能发电场 [左] 和 2.5 兆瓦电池存储设施 [中]。韩国济州岛的类似微电网控制器[右]最大限度地利用了风力发电，尽管风力发电具有间歇性。
