Powering the Future: District Energy/CHP/Microgrids

Cities, communities and campuses are seeking smarter and more sustainable solutions to improve energy resiliency, reduce emissions and stimulate local economic growth. Investments in district energy, combined heat and power and microgrids can help to achieve all three of these objectives concurrently, while preparing for a cleaner energy future.

By aggregating the thermal and electricity needs of dozens or even hundreds of buildings, district energy systems create economies of scale that enable integration of highly-efficient, sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure, including opportunities to de-carbonize and leverage local resources.

Program Topics Include:

• Pathways for Migrating to Low-Carbon District Energy
• Opportunities to Integrate Electricity and Thermal Networks
• Geothermal and Geoexchange District Energy Systems
• Microgrids for Reliability, Redundancy and Resiliency
• Future Fuels: Hydrogen, Biomass, Biofuels and Recycled/Recovered Heat
• Net-Zero and Near-Zero Communities and Climate Action Plans
• Decarbonizing Communities With District Energy
• Emerging Business Models & Energy Procurement Strategies
• District Energy and CHP Case Studies
• System Optimization, Expansion, Modernization and Renewal
• District Cooling, Thermal Energy Storage and Turbine Inlet Air Cooling
• Integrating Renewables with District Energy/CHP
• Energy/Water Nexus, Water Resource Conservation and Optimization Strategies
