The good thing about microgrids is that they are often built to the user’s particular needs. That’s also the bad thing about microgid development. Such tailoring — the kind found in advanced microgrids like those at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Princeton University, or Montgomery County, Maryland — takes a lot of planning.

Jules Nohra, director of optimization services, Veolia North America, explains why microgrid projects need to start with energy monitoring and energy efficiency.
Mission-critical enterprises use microgrids with on-site power systems to achieve the highest possible reliability. Power outages are increasingly unacceptable at military bases, health-care facilities, data centers, distribution centers, and retail facilities. Download the new white paper from PowerSecure that provides a “behind-the-scenes” view into how microgrids can achieve and maintain the highest level of reliability available.
