Some universities are thinking outside the box for a solution, and one answer is microgrids, small electrical networks that can help meet power needs on campus. Click the banner below for expert
Microgrid Knowledge partnered with Hitachi in writing this paper to examine this new microgrid trend and show colleges and universities the initial steps to become part of the movement.
Today, there are hundreds of microgrids around the United States, including at other universities and many facilities that depend on electricity to operate essential services—fire stations,
The goals of the scoping study were twofold: (1) to gain an understanding of achieving a net-zero carbon microgrid to power and heat the entire campus and (2) to explore the contribution of
As one of the premier applied engineering research centers in distributed energy resources and microgrids, we are building the human and operational capacity needed for a secure, resilient, and
Microgrids on campuses face challenges in the instability of power production due to meteorological conditions, as the output of renewable sources such as solar and wind power relies
The Center for Microgrid Research at the University of St. Thomas is a nationally recognized hub for advanced microgrid development and “the only institution of its kind in North
