由于早期技術的發展甚至是近幾年微電網技術使用的申請數目成倍增長，微電網技術在全球范圍內的重要作用十分凸顯，并受到越來越多的關注。 　　

一份來自Navigant公司的市場研究分析發現，對微型電網的技術需求將快速增長。 　　

這些基本技術包括燃料電池，太陽能光伏，分布式風能，智能逆變器，先進儲能，柴油和天然氣發電機等等。 

Navigant公司預測，在未來八年內，這些技術的全球支出將超過 $1550億元。該公司還預計，新的商業模式將為微電網的發展帶來市場。（國網電科院國電通公司 劉伊萍 編譯）   

Microgrid enabling technologies investment to grow rapidly　

Microgrids have been attracting attention since the very earliest days of the technology and even more so in recent years as the number of possible applications for their use multiplies and takes on global importance. 　

A new market analysis from Navigant Research has found that the demand for the technologies that underlie microgrids will grow quickly. 　

Those underlying technologies include fuel cells, photovoltaic solar, distributed wind energy, smart inverters, advanced energy storage, diesel and natural gas generators, and more. 　

Navigant forecasts that global spending on those technologies will exceed $155 billion within the next eight years. The firm also expects that new business models will be developed to bring microgrids to market.
