Microgrid maintenance project

What is a microgrid design guide?

This guide is meant to assist communities – from residents to energy experts to decision makers – in developing a conceptual microgrid design that meets site-specific energy resilience goals.

What is a microgrid project?

The primary goal for microgrid projects is to increase the energy resilience and enhance the ability to serve an installation’s electrical loads during a contingency situation.

What is a microgrid operation & maintenance strategy?

Operation and maintenance for a microgrid involves many different disciplines, including facilities, electrical, and mechanical. These need to be coordinated into an overall O&M strategy with someone who is responsible for overall supervision. The DoD cybersecurity process requires regular reviews and updates to remain compliant.

How can a microgrid improve sustainability?

Many locations also have renewable energy generation sources such as PV panels or wind turbines that provide variable power output. These can be good resources to add into a microgrid to improve the ability to sustain long outages, as they do not depend on fuel deliveries and they increase the overall sustainability of the system.

What are the benefits of a microgrid?

In grid connected operations they can provide cost savings. When microgrids are operated under contingency scenarios, renewable energy provides a generation source that does not require refueling. Because of this benefit, renewable resources are often seen as offsetting other generation sources that require refueling.

What is microgrid management system?

microgrid management system is an integrated real-time power distribution management system unifying SCADA functions, energy resource controls, and load management, with a common user interface.
