4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Microgrid technology can enter the State Grid - ID Solar Energy Systems”
Where do microgrid programs and regulations come from?
Typically, microgrid programs and regulations may originate within state legislation, which encourages or requires State Energy Offices and / or PUCs to initiate decision-making processes, to launch a microgrid grant program, or otherwise reduce barriers to microgrids.
How can state energy offices develop a microgrid program?
When developing a state microgrid program, State Energy Offices can utilize their relationships with local governments, investor- and consumer-owned utilities, and the private sector.
Should state energy regulators and state officials be involved in microgrid deployment?
In particular, Dan Ton of DOE OE and Paul Wang of Energy & Environmental Resources Group have been key supporters of this effort, recognizing the important roles of state energy regulators and state energy officials in advancing microgrid deployment and the benefits of improved coordination and collaboration between DOE and state officials.
What is a microgrid and how does it work?
A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid.2 A microgrid can operate in either grid-connected or in island mode, including entirely off-grid applications. Figure 1 shows one example of a microgrid.
