Think Microgrid’s Taxonomy Brief 2024 strives to define microgrids and the role they can play in transforming our energy system.
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...
Up until recently, large load facilities have had a backup solution and have been grid connected. But because of grid constraints, they are choosing to be off-grid, according to Elham Akhavan of Wood Mackenzie.
The new factory, coupled with ELM’s manufacturing site in nearby Oklahoma, will help the company increase its production line to about 1,000 microgrids annually. ELM also is moving its UK partner Naked Energy’s Virtu solar thermal technology manufacturing operations into The Colony site.
With microgrids, virtual power plants and a rapidly growing array of distributed energy resources, Puerto Rico can reach its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050, according to a new report from the Department of Energy.
