Summary 

Public transit is the backbone of the modern economy, and it relies on total availability of grid services. When Superstorm Sandy impacted NYC, many such services were lost as water and wind overwhelmed the system and severely curtailed routine and emergency transit. The Amtrak NYC transit-oriented microgrid will address the continued delivery of power and grid services to Amtrak’s electrified rail system in NYC while providing a replicable approach for similar systems along the Eastern seaboard.
