6 FAQs about [State Grid Micro Power]

Are microgrids a potential for a modernized electric infrastructure?

1. Introduction Electricity distribution networks globally are undergoing a transformation, driven by the emergence of new distributed energy resources (DERs), including microgrids (MGs). The MG is a promising potential for a modernized electric infrastructure , .

Should lawmakers support microgrid development?

As lawmakers in other states consider whether to support microgrid development, it’s important that policies consider the full value and reflect the suite of benefits that microgrids can provide the power grid to harness their full potential.

Is a microgrid considered an Electric Corporation?

A microgrid is likely to be considered an electric corporation if it intends to serve multiple, otherwise unrelated, retail customers, cross a public way with power lines, and/or obtain a franchise from a local authority. The reasons for this conclusion are discussed below in more detail.

Which states have included microgrids in grid modernization initiatives?

Colorado, Minnesota and New Mexico have included microgrids under broad grid modernization initiatives. In Colorado and Minnesota, the legislatures require regulated utilities to develop and submit transmission and distribution system plans to the state PUCs.

What are the economic drivers of a microgrid?

Meanwhile, a commercial or industrial microgrid will often have economic drivers, such as avoided losses in productivity through operational continuity during outages and revenue derived from competitive energy services markets during normal operations.

What if microgrids are not able to connect to the utility grid?

Interconnection is of paramount importance: if microgrids are not able to connect to the utility grid, they must operate permanently in an islanded mode, forfeiting the opportunity to derive revenue from grid services they could otherwise provide and crippling their business case. 5.3. Utility regulation
