Development of the Compact EMM-Power-Box as a “Plug and Play” Hybrid Unit for Off-Grid Power Supply in Mini Grids
Abstract
About 1.5 billion people worldwide still don’t have access to electricity. Even in Germany and Central Europe, there are countless small forest and alpine huts, holiday and garden houses, that cannot be connected to the public grid. Gasoline- or diesel-operated generators usually cover their power demand. The consequences are high emissions (CO2, noise, exhaust gas pollution), high risks during transportation and storage of fuel, high operating costs and unreliable supply.
