Demonstrating hybrid microgrid innovations for greener, more resilient and more secure power networks

TIGON designs a hybrid alternating and direct current microgrid system, one that is decentralised and close to valuable sources of renewable energy. Its technical, digital and business solutions are being developed at two demo sites located in France with emphasis on photovoltaics and in Spain with a focus on batteries.

Two use cases in the residential and urban railway sectors in Finland and Bulgaria act as niche markets to increase replication potential.
