A microgrid is a localised energy system that can operate independently or in conjunction with the larger electrical grid.
It typically consists of distributed energy resources such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and generators, along with control systems to manage energy production and distribution.
They offer greater resilience, efficiency, and flexibility compared to traditional centralised power systems, allowing for better management of energy resources and increased reliability during grid disruptions.
Microgrids are also valuable in remote areas where energy access is scarce or absent, providing essential resources where they are most needed. Any organisation looking to control energy costs, enhance sustainability, overcome grid-constraints and improve resilience can benefit from adopting a microgrid.

Highest Possible Control
Combining on-site generation, battery energy storage and intelligent energy control software can transform a site or area into a smart microgrid.
These self-contained electrical grids can operate connected to, or independent of, the wider power grid. This gives the highest possible level of control over your energy usage, as well as offering huge potential improvements across energy cost reduction, sustainability and power resilience.
Tailored Solutions from Inception to Operation
Powerstar has extensive experience in client-specific battery and microgrid solutions. This makes us the ideal partner to deliver complex smart microgrid projects that meet the individual needs of a client site, managing the delivery of a project through initial design and manufacturing, through installation and commissioning to optimisation and aftercare.
A comprehensive microgrid solution offers a range of energy management benefits, including:
Reliable and secure power
Reducing dependence on grid-supplied power and protecting a site’s operations and equipment in the event of a power outage
Improved energy efficiency
Using intelligent energy management controls to automate power flows and make real-time decisions on the most efficient use of energy
Cost savings
Reducing a site’s exposure to rising and volatile wholesale energy prices and through avoiding the use of grid-supplied electricity during peak periods
Carbon reduction
Through the use and optimisation of on-site generation and facilitating the use of new, low-carbon technologies
Enhanced flexibility
Using smart energy management software to adapt to changing priorities and energy management goals
Powerstar’s smart microgrid control systems integrate machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, allowing a client’s system to better adapt to their site and to further optimise the way that energy is procured, stored, and used over time. These automated controls make smart, real-time decisions that ensure our smart microgrid projects deliver the best possible performance in terms of cost reduction, improved sustainability, and better power resilience.
Our commitment extends beyond installation, encompassing ongoing support, optimisation, and a flexible approach that evolves with the client’s changing needs. All our solutions include remote monitoring capability that tracks performance and energy management. This provides customers real-time insight into how their solution is performing. It also allows us to provide support and intervention as needed, protecting the long-term success of the project.
