The video shows how the Jenbacher microgrid solution combined with a Jenbacher CHP unit optimizes economics in grid-parallel mode and prevents power interruptions due to grid outage. 
Learn about the Jenbacher microgrid controller and how you can improve your microgrid’s economic performance by enhancing operational efficiency and profitability with INNIO Group’s myPlant Optimization.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this week at Bimbo Bakeries’ Montebello location, marking the launch of microgrids at six of the company's California facilities. The microgrids are expected to provide around 20% of the combined electricity needs for the sites.
In a program based on the honor system, restaurant owners in New Orleans are receiving free solar microgrids -- and agreeing to serve as community sanctuaries during power outages.
Bacardi officials celebrated the opening of the company’s new combined heat and power plant at the premium rum distillery in Cataño. The new CHP system utilizes propane and biogas and is designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent
Hurry up and wait, as the saying goes, may or may not have originated in the military, but it’s appropo to everyday life. Meet that deadline to file your taxes and send what you owe, but it might be months before you see that return in the mail. Pay for those concert tickets — six months before the show. Renewable energy and microgrid developers face...

The content happening in Baltimore will feature sessions on microgrids involving universities, utilities, communities, public safety, electric vehicle charging and elements of aggregated DERs including virtual power plant technologies. Presenters will include experts from microgrid developers such as Schneider Electric, PXiSE Energy Solutions, Spirae...
Bidirectional school buses are new to schools. That’s creating many learning opportunities for the partners proposing the Wy’East Community Resilience Project, which aims to use a bidirectional school bus to help power a solar microgrid at a middle school in a low- to moderate- income community.
Microgrids are a true solution, but they need to align with the crucial Ps and Qs required to make distributed energy happen in the service of e-mobility. Those include planning and performance, quality and quotient.
VPPs also have the potential to significantly ease current energy challenges, improve grid reliability and advance the state’s efforts to create a sustainable and reliable energy system.
