This has moved forw ard\, so we get an update!\n\nSnohomish County PUD worked with Burns & McD onnel\, Hitachi-ABB Powergrids and Mitsubishi Electric to design and build a microgrid near the Arlington\, WA Airport. Despite multiple delays due to covid the project is on track for completion by end of 2021.\n\nThis pr esentation will discuss the lessons learned and challenges of building a m icrogrid during a pandemic.\n\nThe purpose of the Arlington microgrid is t o demonstrate the multiple uses of battery energy storage with a focus on disaster recovery and renewable energy integration.\n\nThe microgrid is al so exploring the use of V2G (Vehicle to Grid) capable charging stations to experiment with using electric fleet vehicles to support the microgrid as just another form of energy storage.\n\nThe project will look at the tech nical and financial challenges and reports will be completed to detail the economics of microgrids\, battery storage and solar on the northwest grid .\n\nPresenter:\n\nOur speaker is Scott Gibson who is a Principal Engineer with Snohomish County PUD in the Generation Department. Scott is a gradua te from the University of Wyoming where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 1987.\n\nAfter graduation\, Scott worked for Boeing\, designing electrical power systems for airplanes\, in addition to an engineering firm where he designed electrical systems for commercial b uildings. In 2000\, Scott joined Snohomish County PUD and started in the P ower Quality and Energy Efficiency group\, then moved to Distribution and finally to the Generation Department\, where he’s been for seven years. Scott is now the Principal Engineer on all new electrical generation proje cts. Scott worked on the development of a Tidal Generation Project\, is he lping to design and construct two new “run of the river” Hydroelectric Projects and will now get to be the Project Manager for the PUD’s new M icrogrid.\n\nhttps://www.snopud.com/reliability/ar-microgrid.ashx?p=3326\n \nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/286202 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/286202 ORGANIZER:tjohnson@ppcwa.com SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Seattle IAS October 2021 - SnoPud Microgrid URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/286202 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Snohomish PUD Microgrid</strong></ p>\n<p>We hoped to be in person\, but we will stick to virtual for the Oct ober meeting.&nbsp\; Try the link below for the meeting via Teams.&nbsp\; Should you want an official Outlook invitation\, send an email to <a href= "mailto:tjohnson@ppcwa.com">tjohnson@ppcwa.com</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<a href ="https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Y2Y0OTBlYTItNDU4Y S00NGNhLWE1MTUtZWY1NWIzZThjZWU0%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22b2 bb3e9e-ff66-4c92-b327-063498753a29%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%220d5ffa6f-c73e-4525- a812-ce692af30440%22%7d">MICROSOFT TEAMS LINK FOR MEETING</a></p>\n<p><str ong>Topic:&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p>In October of 2018\, we had a meeting w here we discussed the proposed microgrid from Snohomish PUD.&nbsp\; This h as moved forward\, so we get an update!</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Snohomish County PUD worked with Burns &amp\; McDonnel\, Hitachi-ABB Powergrids and Mitsubishi Electric to design and build a microgrid near the Arlington\, W A Airport.&nbsp\; Despite multiple delays due to covid the project is on t rack for completion by end of 2021.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This presentation will discuss the lessons learned and challenges of building a microgrid during a pandemic.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The purpose of the Arlington microgrid is to demonstrate the multiple uses of battery energy storage with a focu s on disaster recovery and renewable energy integration.</p>\n<p>The micro grid is also exploring the use of &nbsp\;V2G (Vehicle to Grid) capable cha rging stations to experiment with using electric fleet vehicles to support the microgrid as just another form of energy storage.</p>\n<p>The project will look at the technical and financial challenges and reports will be c ompleted to detail the economics of microgrids\, battery storage and solar on the northwest grid.</p>\n<p><strong>Presenter:&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p >Our speaker is Scott Gibson who is a Principal Engineer with Snohomish Co unty PUD in the Generation Department.
