Microgrids have emerged as a promising part of the solution to the challenges of increasing electricity costs, power outages and increasing loads.

The power grid needs innovative ways to add additional energy production and control capabilities to the power system. The Office of Electricity is advancing one such approach with microgrid systems.

37 homes at The Medley at Southshore Bay in Tampa kept the lights on during Hurricane Ian in Florida. Their resilience was bolstered by a microgrid.

As artificial intelligence (AI) expands rapidly, large-scale data centers are becoming one of the largest and most dynamic classes of new electric loads. Unlike regular data centers with relatively constant demands for power, AI training centers use thousands of specialized computer chips that work together in tightly coordinated cycles.

This entry in the Basic to Breakthrough series describes how the Department of Energy has supported stellarator designs that could help harness the power of the stars here on Earth.
