Description
A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy sources (DERs) that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the power grid. During a grid power outage, water and wastewater utilities could switch to an electric microgrid powered by both on-property and off-property sources (e.g., solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, biogas, battery banks) to sustain critical operations. Join EPA's Water Infrastructure and Cyber Resilience Division for a free webinar that will include a National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) presentation on the basics of microgrids and DERs and case studies for how they have been implemented at utilities.
