Next Generation MICROGRIDS – Understanding the Potential for Large Scale Real Estate Projects
Historically, Microgrids made sense for large scale projects that required more sophisticated and resilient options for uninterrupted delivery of electricity. In some cases, the Microgrid served as the primary source of electricity; in other cases it acted as a backup. Traditional Microgrids primarily utilized natural gas and diesel fuel to run generators that create electricity. Fast forward to 2018, and we see a new generation of Microgrids that now incorporate sustainable energy sources such as solar and wind. Next generation electrical distribution operating platforms and advanced storage systems with innovative network controls manage the myriad processes. Rapidly becoming part of the enterprise energy strategy for a growing number of organizations, Microgrids could potentially redefine the overall architecture of the electric grid. This instructive session will feature the best and brightest thought leaders who are driving the next generation Microgrid discussion.
