During the recent Microgrid Knowledge (MGK) Conference, experts from across the distributed energy spectrum pinpointed the need to be adaptable, valuable and indispensable. Respect the proactive value that microgrids have to offer.
Located at the Port of Long Beach in California, the facility is the automaker’s first port vehicle processing and distribution center to be fully powered by on-site renewable energy, thanks to FuelCell Energy’s Tri-gen technology.
Global Connective Center LLC granted BWR Innovations the two-year subcontract as part of an agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Microgrid (H2MG) project is a research, development, testing and evaluation effort to demonstrate feasibility and performance.
The $6.4 million contract aims to improve safety for American soldiers as well as fortify the supply chain and U.S. national security.
The NYISO has chosen three aggregators for early participation in the program, starting with Baltimore-based energy management firm CPower Energy. The company will aggregate DERs into virtual power plants (VPPs) then bid the VPPs into the New York DER Participation Model.

A project to bring three microgrids to several Alaska communities aims to remove the emotion and make it easier to make decisions that benefit all stakeholders.
Theories abound around what can be done to reduce interconnection queue wait times, which have more than doubled since 2008. But the Department of Energy has a plan that includes 35 different solutions it says will solve the interconnection backlog and meet the growing demand for renewable energy resources.
Schneider Electric previewed a new battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Microgrid Knowledge conference that aims to make microgrids easier for those who lack utility-level engineering skills.
Electricity is more than a science lesson or a tool of comfort; this flow of electrons serve as a hand up to a better world for many, putting into action a “greater good” that ultimately benefits all.
