Community Microgrids
Community microgrids, however, ofer towns and cities a way to keep the lights on even when the central grid fails, and provide basic services to the citizenry. As city and town leaders are
In particular, community-based multi-user microgrids are emerging as a viable solution. Community multi-user microgrids are characterized by a set of contiguous loads and energy exporting resources connected using a section of the local utility distribution grid to form a microgrid within a defined electrical boundary8.
For instance, community-owned microgrids may outsource the planning, construction, and operation of the system . In such cases, even though the community has ownership, the decision-making and control might be distributed across external actors .
Using our technical, regulatory and policy expertise on community energy systems, we can assist these communities to build and operate microgrids. This website provides vital information on microgrid planning, design, and other relevant aspects (business models, policy and regulatory aspects).
Utility owned and operated multi-user microgrids are those where the utility is the sole owner and controller of the microgrid distribution and generation/storage assets. Utility multi-user microgrids may be developed in response to a utility resilience planning identified need or local community request for improved grid resilience.
