| | | | 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. |
|
|
| | The hybrid microgrid will leverage floating solar panels, a battery energy storage system and biogas and natural gas connections to provide roughly 40% of the power needed to power three city water and sewer facilities. |
