The US Department of Defense wants to reduce costs and speed time to install military microgrids, so is seeking demonstration projects via a newly issued request for proposals (RFP). Through its Installation Energy Test Bed, the defense department intends to fund multiple projects that speed microgrid design, simplify component and system … [Read more...]
A microgrid demonstration project hosted by the US Navy and sponsored by the California Energy Commission will shine a light on how effective microgrids can be in providing demand charge management, load shifting, and solar firming. Just as important, the project will evaluate how well a photovoltaic solar system, used with batteries, … [Read more...]
The relevance of microgrids to the modern power system has become so significant that fewer and fewer players can afford to ignore them. And given performance expectations and the complexity of build, the demand for detailed microgrid simulation and testing facilities is high.
This report details how the integrated power system could look after the full implementation of the proposed plan, when outdated equipment not compliant with the federal Mercury and Air Toxics Standards has been retired and replaced by renewable generation supported by storage.
