DHYBRID and Vibran Complete Largest Microgrid in Colombia
Power supply increased from 8 to 24 hours a day
UNGIA, Columbia — In the Colombian municipality of Ungía, DHYBRID and its regional partner, Vibran, installed the largest hybrid microgrid in the country. This isolated community in the Chocó Department is not accessible by road. Until now, supply was restricted to 8 hours a day and was provided by diesel generators. Thanks to the new microgrid, over 10,000 families now have a reliable power supply around the clock.
The new grid is controlled and monitored by DHYBRID’s manufacturer-independent and technology-agnostic Universal Power Platform (UPP). This energy management system connects four generators with a 780-kWp solar system and a 333-kWh power storage unit with a maximum output of 122 kW.
