As once in a lifetime weather events are becoming increasingly frequent, the value of nimble, distributed microgrid technology is skyrocketing. In this video, a panel of microgrid experts take a deep dive into key challenges that prevent society from capturing the full reliability benefits of microgrids, including market, technical and regulatory obstructions. Industry leaders offer solutions and next steps that will help to scale microgrid technology.
Samantha Reifer, Director of Special Projects at Scale Microgrid, moderated this panel discussion.
Featured speakers include:
Scott Kessler, Head of Microgrid Strategy and Sales, Siemens
Scott Manson, Technology Director, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories
Keith Thomson, Co-Founder & Facilitator, AVL Critical Services Microgrid Group
Karim El Alami, Managing Director – Elum Energy
This video was recorded during Microgrid 2021: The World Awakens to Microgrids, a virtual conference held over four weeks in May and June of 2021. The event featured more than 60 speakers across 20 sessions and was designed to educate sustainability and facility managers, energy decision-makers and others curious about microgrids. The overarching theme of the conference focused on the energy, financial, and sustainability benefits that microgrids can offer facilities — and society as a whole. Although this was previously recorded, you’ll find many of the examples and insights are timeless in their strategic value.
The sessions were designed to provide insight into business models, financing, government incentives and other microgrid funding. They also provide guidance when choosing technology and development partners for your microgrid project.
