Microgrid Use Case: a mine in Australia
How to lower both energy costs and environmental impact
Electricity makes up a significant share of a mine’s operating costs. Renewable energy solutions such as photovoltaics (PV) and an battery energy storage system (BESS) can lower energy costs by as much as 53% – along with the environmental footprint. How? The following use case of a mine in Australia offers two scenarios. Download the technical article below and discover how:
- A PV-only plant can greatly reduce utility grid dependence
- A combined PV and BESS can lead to optimized energy cost savings
Microgrid Use Case: Energy Supply of a German Logistics Center
How to unlock cost efficiency and sustainability
Energy costs pose a significant operational challenge now. This case study delves into three scenarios for powering a logistics center: standard, cost-effective, and hybrid. With an optimally designed microgrid solution, these costs can be reduced by as much as 61%. Download the use case below and discover how:
- Sustainable operation becomes effective through integration of renewable energies
- Increased grid independence is a better choice

Microgrid solutions for multiple applications
mtu microgrid solutions range from stand-alone battery storage to fully integrated hybrid systems.
Demand charge reduction
Reduce your grid stability power demand by storing power and/or using gensets to lower demand charges which are typically based on the single highest grid stability power draw (in kW) per year.
EV charging integration
Enable business cases concerning electrification of the transportation sector by providing extra power during certain periods when charging of multiple vehicles exceeds the grid capacity. Match local renewable energy generation and car charging to provide true green charging.
Frequency regulation services
Provide services to grid system operators – via utility companies or energy traders – such as frequency containment reserve, frequency restoration reserve, etc. to support grid frequency.
Genset dispatch optimization
Reduce your genset runtime and boost genset efficiency by providing spinning reserve from batteries and intelligent load sharing between gensets and batteries whenever gensets are in operation.
Genset flexibilization
Enable your gensets to accept large load steps and bridge startup times by adding battery storage. In this way, a genset power plant can be upgraded for off-grid operation or backup power.
Grid limitation management
Overcome consumer-side limitations on desired load increase (e.g. factory expansion) due to limited grid connection capacities. Batteries and/or gensets can cover your additional grid stability power loads.
Off-grid energy supply
Provide electricity in areas where no grid is available, or reduce your fuel consumption (and hence electricity costs) for existing power plants in off-grid settings by adding renewable energy sources and storage.
Self-consumption & self-sufficiency
Put local power generation units such as solar arrays or CHP plants in place, and use your own power ‘behind the meter’ instead of feeding it into the grid. Increase your self-sufficiency even further by adding
battery storage.
