6 FAQs about [Microgrid Policy Summary]

What is a microgrid strategy?

The Strategy development process began with microgrid experts deliberating on areas the Strategy should focus on for impactful results in key metrics, such as reliability, resilience, decarbonization, and affordability, in the next five to ten years.

Are microgrids a key component of the smart grid?

Microgrids have been identified as a key component of the Smart Grid for improving power reliability and quality, increasing system energy efficiency, and providing the possibility of grid-independence to individual end-user sites.

Are microgrids a good investment?

Microgrids that incorporate renewable energy resources can have environmental benefits in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. In some cases, microgrids can sell power back to the grid during normal operations. Depending on the complexity, microgrids can have high upfront capital costs.

What happens if a microgrid is grid-connected?

If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.

Is microgrid a conceptual solution?

Microgrid: a conceptual solution, IEEE annual power electronic specialists conference, 6; 2004 (1): p. 4285–90. Renew. Energy, 62 ( 2014), pp. 417 - 423 Peeters E, Belhomme R, Batlle C., et al. ADDRESS: scenarios and architecture for active demand development in the smart grid of the future.

Can microgrids improve energy resilience?

Since microgrids are not the only way to enhance energy resilience, communities may want to consider alternate resilience investment options, including hardening existing transmission and distribution systems, weatherizing power generation sources, and building additional distribution systems to provide energy supply redundancy.
