|
| | | | | | As utilities begin to embrace the benefits of deploying distributed energy resources, different models are emerging for how utilities and their customers can participate. Programs from Sunrun and Sparkfund are two examples. |

|
| | | | The solution to these problems isn’t more transmission lines or fossil-fuel-powered peaker plants. The solution is decentralizing the grid, making it more flexible, resilient, and sustainable. This is where microgrids come into play. |

| | | | Sponsored | | Last month, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) said that U.S. power grids are becoming more susceptible to cyberattacks every day, with vulnerable attack vectors increasing by about 60 a day. What’s more, extreme weather events also place the grid and power supply at risk... |

|
| | | | Under the planned water infrastructure power project, microgrids using battery energy storage and managed by distributed energy resources management systems (DERS) would form virtual power plants (VPPs) which could deliver load reduction during times of grid stress. |

|
| | After Hurricane Helene hit Western North Carolina, knocking out power, killing 95 and flooding roads and neighborhoods, requests for help in the form of solar microgrids poured in. They were deployed to provide clean water and to power critical services. |
