Microgrid & User-Side Storage

Off-grid islands, industrial parks, remote communities and commercial buildings. Where there is no grid to lean on, the converter has to be the grid.

The Application

Microgrids are the hardest test of a converter. There is no stiff grid to synchronise to, no external inertia to borrow, and often no engineer within a day’s travel. Soaring’s microgrid systems have operated above 4,300 metres in Qinghai, on tropical islands in the Maldives, and inside industrial research campuses.

What Matters Here

• Grid-forming by necessity — off-grid means there is nothing to follow.
• Altitude and climate tolerance — proven at 4,200–4,500m and in tropical island conditions.
• Multi-unit parallel — scale the microgrid without a transformer per unit.
• Black start — bring the system up from dead with no external source.
• Serviceability — remote sites are unforgiving.

Sub-Applications

Island microgrids · remote communities · industrial parks · commercial buildings · research campuses · mobile storage · solar-storage-charging-testing stations (15–30 min charge to 80%).
