By integrating renewable energy sources\, Ca mpus microgrids help reduce carbon emissions and support institutions in a chieving their sustainability goals. Additionally\, they provide a valuabl e platform for research and hands-on learning in energy systems\, smart gr ids\, and power optimization.\n\nThis presentation focuses on the optimal planning and operation of a campus microgrid\, addressing key aspects such as energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. A comprehensive optimization model for campus microgrid planning will be presented as a case study. Th e model considers both grid-connected and islanded operational modes to en sure reliable performance under varying conditions\, with the University o f Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) utilized as the test system. The fin dings of this study offer insights into how universities can enhance energ y security\, reduce investment and operational costs\, and contribute to a cleaner energy future.\n\nAgenda: \n5:30 pm -5:35 pm: Introduction\n\n5:3 5 pm - 6:30 pm: Presentation\n\n6:30 pm - 6:45 pm: Questions\n\nVirtual: h ttps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/473514 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/473514 ORGANIZER:john.santiago@ieee.org SEQUENCE:29 SUMMARY:OPTIMAL PLANNING OF UNIVERSITY CAMPUS MICROGRID: UCCS CAMPUS CASE S TUDY URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/473514 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr">University microgrids serve as b oth an energy solution and an educational resource\, offering a sustainabl e and resilient approach to modern campus energy management.
