Teams awarded for innovative distribution system feeder solutions.
Mission-critical commercial and military applications have extremely high uptime requirements and tight deployment space constraints. Advanced small nuclear reactors, packaged as compact units and deployed in microgrids, present a tantalizing option to meet these constraints and advance many of our nation’s priorities.
Microgrids offer a promising solution to enable the fast, reliable, and affordable build-out of data centers with shorter timelines relative to distribution/transmission grid expansion.
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.
