Business Lab: Opportunities and Technologies with Microgrids at the Grid Edge

No matter what energy sector you work in, microgrids have or will have an impact on your business model. Join us in a provocative group discussion on how microgrids, and technologies such as fault managed power, will impact the business and technology landscape of the rapidly evolving Grid Edge marketplace and learn from others in this interactive forum what their companies are doing in the microgrid space. Industry visionary Brian Patterson, chairperson of the EMerge Alliance, will lead this interactive education and networking session on this timely subject.

Microgrids are predicted to be transformational because they can:
• Add new power capacity at the grid edge
• Provide shared and reserved storage capacity
• Use natively DC generation, storage, loads
• Simplify systems by acting non-synchronously via dc-coupling
• Be networked in self-healing/configuring mesh topologies
• Operate with semi-autonomous distributed control
• Provide AC grid support at the distribution grid edge
• Allow “energy as a service” differentiation and capability.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to join with others in exploring the here, now, and future of microgrids and their potential impact on your business!
