What is a Mini/Microgrid?

A minigrid is a localized electricity network that generates, stores, and distributes power to a defined community—homes, businesses, clinics, schools—without relying on a national grid connection.

Minigrids can be centralized (power hub + distribution) or distributed (rooftop generation aggregated through Smart Nodes), and they scale into mesh-grids where multiple nodes share energy for higher uptime.

The Smart-Node Ecosystem

Smart Nodes combine inverter(s), battery storage, and PV into a local node that serves a cluster of homes or businesses.

Nodes

A collection of homes connected to a single ESS (inverter/battery)

Smart Grid Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

How It Works

Nergi’s VPP is the intelligence layer that coordinates generation, storage, and demand across all nodes in real time. It balances loads, reduces strain, and redirects power where it’s needed most—improving reliability and asset life. The aggregated pool can also participate in grid services or sell excess energy, unlocking additional revenues for operators and investor partners.

Outcomes

  • Optimized energy management and load balancing.
  • Data-driven dispatch decisions.
  • New revenue opportunities through grid/market participation.
