What is a microgrid design guide?

This guide is meant to assist communities – from residents to energy experts to decision makers – in developing a conceptual microgrid design that meets site-specific energy resilience goals.

What is a microgrid report?

This report provides (1) an overview of the microgrid planning, assessment, and design process for DoD installations and (2) is a resource for energy managers, policymakers, contractors, and other stakeholders involved in microgrid projects.

What is a microgrid planning capability?

Planning capability that supports the ability to model and design new microgrid protection schemes that are more robust to changing conditions such as load types, inverter-based resources, and networked microgrids.

Who is a microgrid community?

Community: Any group of stakeholders affected by the design, installation, and ongoing performance of a microgrid or system of microgrids intended to improve energy resilience.

What is a microgrid project?

The primary goal for microgrid projects is to increase the energy resilience and enhance the ability to serve an installation’s electrical loads during a contingency situation.

What is microgrid R&D?

In that context, the Microgrid R&D program seeks to accomplish these three goals: Goal 2: Ensure that microgrids serve as a driver of decarbonization for the US EDS by acting as a point of aggregation for larger number of DERs, with 50% of new installed DER capacity within microgrids coming from carbon-free energy sources by 2030.
