Building Design & Construction
Summary
Over the last few years, weather has fluctuated erratically and impacted how industries, cities, healthcare facilities, universities and other mission critical organizations maintain operational readiness. As these entities, along with municipalities and cities, prioritize building resilience, microgrid solutions are gaining traction.
At their core, microgrids are analogous to back-up generators for a local power system. At a deeper level, a generator controller must balance the generation output to the load in real-time and serve as a balancing authority to control voltage and frequency, not unlike the larger grid operator.
These microgrids are typically operated in parallel with the local grid to provide additional supply surety, complicating the generation balancing approach. Microgrid owners possess the assets and must control the grid with technology, engineering, and operations to manage the generation and distribution in order to maintain the supply both with and without grid support.
