DESCRIPTION:When severe weather or other events take the electric grid down
  is your community ready? If your answer is no\, a community Microgrid mig
 ht be the solution.\n\nA Microgrid (MG) can provide a source of localized 
 power during a grid outage due to extreme weather\, a Public Safety Power 
 Shutoff event or other outage. In addition\, it can offer efficiency\, cos
 t and environmental benefits. A community MG is a group of PG&amp;E customers 
 and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) within a clearly defined electrica
 l boundary able to disconnect and reconnect to the grid\, so critical faci
 lities can be safely energized. A community MG is typically designed to pr
 ovide energy resilience to important community facilities\, such as Hospit
 als\, Police and Fire Stations\, Gas Stations and Markets.\n\nThe local DE
 Rs\, such as a solar photovoltaic (PV) system and battery\, can be owned b
 y third parties and can participate in wholesale markets for energy and re
 lated services. PG&amp;E will continue to own and operate the distribution sys
 tem on which the Microgrid capability is built.\n\nPG&amp;E’s Community Micr
 ogrid Enablement Program (CMEP) and Microgrid Incentive Program (MIP) offe
 r both financial and technical support. Creating a community MG requires c
 ollaboration between your community\, a technical engineering firm\, and P
 G&amp;E. The CMEP and MIP can help you take your community’s energy resilien
 ce ideas from concept to reality.\n\nThis presentation will offer a genera
 l definition of community MGs\, including architecture\, electrical design
 \, operational modes\, DER’s etc.\, and offer an example of an implement
 ed solution. Also\, it will describe CMEP steps including Consultation\, A
 pplication\, Study &amp; Analysis\, Development\, Operation. The CMEP and MIP 
 work together to fund all aspects of a community Microgrid. They support t
 he development of clean community Microgrids in disadvantaged and vulnerab
 le communities (DVCs). You can apply for either one individually\, or for 
 both programs together.\n\nSpeaker(s): Shreya Kodnadu\, Franz Stadtmueller
