Use in a microgrid
What is Microgrid?
It is a small-scale power supply network that is
designed to provide power for a small community.
It enables local power generation for local loads.
It comprises of various small power generating
sources that makes it highly flexible and efficient.

Introduction To Microgrid
It is connected to both the local generating units
and the utility grid thus preventing power
outages.
Excess power can be sold to the utility grid.
Size of the Microgrid may range from housing
estate to municipal regions.

Island Mode:
Utility grid is not supplying power
Static switch is open.
Feeder A, B, C are being supplied
by Microsources.
Feeder D (not sensitive )
is dead.

ADVANTAGES OF MFCs
Generation of energy out of biowaste/organic matter .
Direct conversion of substrate energy to electricity .
Sludge production :The amount of electrons diverted
towards the anode and the energy they represent. This
energy (J) can be calculated as E = P x t = V x I x t, with E
energy (J), P power (W), t time (s), V voltage (V) and I
current (A).
Omission of gas treatment
Aeration
