We’ve all heard the arguments in favor of fossil fuel use in microgrids. But what was true a decade ago, or even five years ago, no longer applies. This video discusses the benefits and strategies for creating renewable microgrids, so you can have resiliency as well as a cleaner supply of energy.

We’ve all heard the arguments in favor of fossil fuel use in microgrids. But what was true a decade ago, or even five years ago, no longer applies. Price points have changed making renewable energy cost competitive in many places. At the same time, microgrids are smarter than ever, thanks to advances in automation, digital platforms and controllers. All of this opens opportunities for microgrid output that is cleaner, cheaper and even more reliable. But these benefits don’t necessarily come easily. There are technical challenges, as integrating renewable sources into a microgrid can be a little tricky. How can you ensure your renewable microgrids not only overcome them but captures the latest advancements?

In this webinar featuring Nathan Adams of Hitachi ABB and Elisa Wood of Microgrid Knowledge, you’ll learn how to make your operation part of a movement to ‘power for good’ with microgrids. The speakers will discuss both the benefits and the strategies for adding renewable energy sources to your microgrid so you can have resiliency as well as a cleaner supply of energy.

The discussion is hosted by Kevin Normandeau and features a Q&A session that was captured during the live webinar.

Featured speakers include:

Nathan Adams, General Manager, North American Microgrids, ABB Power Grids

Elisa Wood, Editor-in-Chief, Microgrid Knowledge
