16 290 power outages for the year 2014 When working in Uganda, we realized the large quantities of power outages, and how manually grid maintenance was conducted in rural areas. Since most of the line faults in rural areas happen on the low voltage lines and are often transient, there is clearly a need for smart circuit breakers with remote control and monitoring. Whenever there is a fault on the line, the whole low voltage grid goes down, and it can take more than three days to get the power back on since maintenance personnel have to travel long distances to the site, and spend much time searching for the fault. 16 290 power outages for the year 2014

LuminGo Smart Grid System So we developed the LuminGo Smart Grid Concept, consisting of distributed Load Management Units in a mesh network communicating to the cloud via a gate way. The LMU has a current and voltage meter, and a circuit breaker that will detect any fault and instantly trip to protect the grid upstream of the LMU. The LMU will automatically check whether the fault is transient and if not, send the information and location to the central control. In addition the LMUs can help with automatic performance evaluation, help in billing process and for asset management. The first LuminGo Smart Grid system is currently being installed on a micro grid at Tiribogo in Uganda.

Conclusions MicroGrids has huge potential for rapid growth all over the globe Hybrid MicroGrid solutions are already profitable in remote locations compared to status quo. Costs are coming down fast with better integration and volume Subsidized grid power and fossil fuels are major barriers. Future prospect of national grid connection in off-grid locations reduces investment interest. Subsidy schemes for hybrid systems are still rare
