Microgrid Knowledge Events Calendar

In this time of high need for reliability, reduced utility spend and risk management (3-R’s), facilities are turning to distributed energy services (DER).  The components, projects and services, however, need to be designed, installed, maintained and financed properly to benefit the end-users.

We will give you a tour of Alban CAT Power Systems, Elkridge, Md., which showcases some of the components used in microgrids: CHP, diesel generator, solar, battery and microgrid controllers.  The presentation following the tour will provide insights on the nuances of microgrid installation from case studies.

Cost:  $15;
