This white paper outlines the case for DERMS as the next step utilities should consider on their path towards renewables and resilience.
DERMS: Yes or No for Your Utility?
The Lesser Known Benefits of a Microgrid
Whether connected or disconnect to the grid, a microgrid provides more than just reliable energy. Mesa Solutions outlines some of the lesser-known benefits of a microgrid including reducing carbon emissions and reducing energy costs.
Introducing Linear Generators to the Rapidly Evolving DER Landscape
A new white paper from Mainspring Energy explores how affordable, fuel-flexible and low emissions onsite generators can fill key commercial and utility resource gaps.
Linking Clean Energy and Clean Mobility via Resilient Microgrids
Resilient microgrids and energy as a service (EaaS) business models can help to support grid assets by linking renewables, EVs, and advanced software systems to provide real time optimization of diverse energy sources. A new white paper from Schneider Electric explores the link between clean energy and clean mobility, and the role resilient microgrids can play.
6 Reasons Why Natural Gas is a Distributed Energy Source Bridging Solution
Many experts predict a windfall for the renewable energy industry as companies strive to meet their stated goals by 2035, 2040, or even 2050. But a new white paper from Mesa Solutions looks at six reasons why natural gas power generation should continue to be a go-to solution.
Creating a Resilient, Renewable Grid: Six Challenges Every Utility Must Assess
As renewable energy penetration increases and distributed energy resources (DERs) and electric vehicles (EVs) are integrated into the grid, utilities must make fundamental changes to their grid operations.
The Opportunity for Propane in Microgrid Backup Generators
In their new report, the Propane Education and Research Council explain the opportunities for propane in microgrids. Propane is a low carbon fuel source that produces less soot than diesel and can help achieve emissions goals without any additional costs to the customer.
Engine-driven Generators and their Criticality in Microgrids
The purpose of the microgrid solution is to provide cleaner, more efficient, and locally-created power when compared to utility-scale distributed power typically based on coal or nuclear. The benefits have been well documented in industry. This new report from Generac contends fossil-fueled, reciprocating engine-driven generators will continue to be the solution for the foreseeable future and enable ultimate application flexibility to have microgrid operations available whenever they are needed.
