At the heart of this work is the IMPROVEMENT nZEB Pilot Area, located within a retrofitted 1980s LNEG building in Lisbon. Operated jointly by LNEG and IST, the pilot is a living lab
This white paper focuses on tools that support design, planning and operation of microgrids (or aggregations of microgrids) for multiple needs and stakeholders (e.g., utilities, developers,
The fundamental objective of this dissertation is to learn how to design a microgrid, integrating a high share of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), in a residential context in the city of Lisbon.
This study outlines the importance of accurate load modeling and carefully selecting models for renewable energy sources and energy storage systems, including degradation models, to
guage for a building located on the Lumiar campus of LNEG in Lisbon, Portugal for one week period in May. In the building there are installed electrical and thermal s stems for self-production (PV and ST
The DSO Monopoly microgrid is owned and operated by the DSO, which normally occurs in non-liberalized markets where the DSO owns the distribution and retail of the energy, and in turn are
The project is currently testing microgrid solutions and energy storage technologies, including the use of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in one of the pilot plants, specifically LiFePO4.

This microgrid, supported by battery storage, automatically switched to island mode following the failure of the public grid. The system was implemented at LNEG as part of the SUDOE project...
The pilot plant is powered by a 4 kWp photovoltaic system and a 2.5 kW wind turbine and a 30 kWh battery storage system, all integrated in a solar trigeneration system that provides electricity to feed a
Scelto Energy Africa is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in South Africa, serving the African market. We specialize in lithium-ion batteries for residential, commercial and industrial use, system-level battery management systems (BMS) for optimal performance and safety, energy conversion systems (PCS) for efficient power flow, energy storage battery system cabinets with integrated monitoring, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, commercial & industrial energy storage cabinets for factories and warehouses, integrated PV-storage systems for seamless solar plus storage operation, distributed energy resources for microgrids and off-grid applications, and deep discharge battery technology for extended cycling. As a full-service provider, we also offer containerised BESS, modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Africa.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with African and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Africa.
