The 140-house village of Simris in Sweden has been moved onto a microgrid powered by 500 kW of wind turbines, 440 kW of photovoltaic solar panels and a battery system with 800 kW capacity. In the first phase of its implementation, which is expected to be completed this year, the project will provide electricity for about 100 homes.
