AEENCC Microgrids Seminar

The use of microgrid arrangements can help achieve multiple end-user sustainable goals and financial targets on a smaller scale.  As an aspect of a modernized energy delivery system, microgrids can push forward the regions electricity infrastructure through the integration and optimized use of distributed energy resources (DERs). Microgrids also offer the potential for greater resilience for important buildings and communities, affording participating entities greater control over their energy demand and costs.  Despite these benefits, few microgrid developments have materialized in the region or elsewhere. This seminar will cover the basics of microgrid arrangements, example use cases for microgrid developments (including those well-suited for the DC Metro region), and how existing challenges to their deployment were overcome in neighboring states and localities.
