Demo workshop: replicating hybrid microgrid solutions

May 14th, 2025

Can DC-based microgrids be commercially and environmentally sustainable? How can local distribution grids be optimised in order to better manage local renewables and to ensure security of supply? How can the tech and the software be adapted to local contexts?

These are just some of the talking points at the hybrid workshop on the replication demo in Naantali, Finland, as part of the EU-funded TIGON project which has developed and enhanced software and hardware components for the roll-out of hybrid microgrids as part of the energy transition.

The showcase is one of two microgrid replication showcases under the TIGON project. It draws on the solutions developed at the project's two demo hybrid microgrids in France and Spain.

The event aims to show the show the feasibility and potential of replicating TIGON's developments to make microgrids reliable, resilent and cost-effective.

It will be of interest to various stakeholder groups, including DSOs, standardisation bodies, policy makers and technology providers.

Registration is open to attend either physically or online.
