Puerto Rico’s power grid has s uffered extensive damage due to recent natural disasters\, subjecting many communities to frequent power outages. Puerto Rico could benefit from mic rogrids\, empowering communities by providing a resilient and sustainable energy solution that can operate independently from the main grid during i nstances when grid power is not available. Sandia National Laboratories ha s developed tools and capabilities to facilitate comprehensive designs\, r esilience assessment\, and transient modeling\, tailored to the unique ene rgy challenges faced by communities\, particularly in the aftermath of nat ural disasters. Collaborative efforts between Sandia and local universitie s have helped ensure that the microgrid solutions are effective for commun ities in Puerto Rico. Through this multidimensional approach\, Sandia seek s not only to contribute to the advancement of microgrid technologies but also to provide a viable and resilient solution for the energy infrastruct ure challenges faced by communities in Puerto Rico.\n\nSpeaker(s): Rachid\ n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/404989 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/404989 ORGANIZER:nassif@ieee.org SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Microgrid Solutions for Communities in Puerto Rico: Design\, Resili ence\, and Performance URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/404989 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>As the world shifts towards using more sus tainable forms of energy generation\, microgrids have emerged as a way to promote energy independence\, increasing community resilience.
