Microgrids Working Group Access Working GroupOur WorkCombining onsite generation with end user efficiency, demand reduction, “smart grid” and energy storage capabilities with advanced information, communications and control technologies, microgrids can provide a resource-efficient “systems” approach for optimizing local energy and increase system resiliency and reliability. Despite the promise of microgrid technology, it poses significant technical, economic, regulatory, planning, challenges resulting from the need to coordinate a vast array of information and equipment the needs to be seamlessly integrated into the larger grid.The working group seeks to identify new business models, explore regulatory and financial innovations, address gaps in standards, define use cases that drive new system requirements and share experiences and best practices to help the energy industry stakeholders assess and implement microgrids.Meeting Schedule: Monthly Conference Call/WebinarMember Chair: Gary Brinkworth, Tennessee Valley AuthorityMember Vice Chair: Larisa Dobriansky, General MicroGridsStaff Lead: Jared Leader, SEPASEPA Group Staff: Mac Keller Get InvolvedYou can access or join the working group at groups.sepapower.org.For more information, contact [email protected]
