Microgrids for Energy Resilience
As the energy industry transitions from fossil fuel-based energy supplies to more renewable energy resources, localized and distributed renewable energy resources are expected to grow rapidly. Utility distribution systems are also going through a major grid modernization effort where smart grid technologies, distribution SCADA, and advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) are becoming mainstream. On the other hand, extreme weather, climate change, natural disaster, cyber threats, and capable adversaries are threatening there liability of the greater electrical grid, especially for critical infrastructure and remote communities. As a result, microgrids are becoming more relevant than ever. Advancement in energy storage technologies enables formation and operation of microgrid systems using renewable energy resources making them economical, which was not feasible in the past.
