Microgrid project establishment flow chart

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 microgrid management system?

microgrid management system is an integrated real-time power distribution management system unifying SCADA functions, energy resource controls, and load management, with a common user interface.

What makes a successful microgrid design?

Microgrids are most successful when utilities and third-parties work together to gather foundational information upfront and engage with stakeholders. Download this framework to guide you through the entire design process from project roles to operating procedures. Understand how to gather the information vital to a successful microgrid design

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 a microgrid design analysis?

For a design analysis, it is useful to conduct system modeling to match microgrid loads with generation on an hourly, 15-minute, or 1-minute basis. This type of modeling can provide a detailed look into how a microgrid can supply loads from different generation sources at each time step throughout the course of a year.

How can a group of energy stakeholders determine a microgrid solution?

Often, the best way for a group of energy stakeholders to determine an approach to a microgrid solution is to leverage a framework. A framework is a systematic approach that guides users step by step to support comprehensive design and planning.
