As extreme weather events become more common and more expensive to endure, organizations are looking for ways to maintain resiliency and have reliable power. The ability to use distributed energy and operate in island mode, isolated from the utility supply, is what fundamentally makes a microgrid. It is the balance of cost to risk that is the essential question to consider. During Hurricane Sandy, CHP enabled a number of large facilities to continue their operations when the electric grid went down. This seminar covers the growing landscape of microgrid activities, CHPs role and implications for building design and retrofit.
