IEEE Consultant Network Power and Energy Seattle - Microgrids
Microgrids - What are they? Who needs them? Today we have more and more power requirements stressing the power utility companies. For critical power for facilities like data centers, hospitals and water treatment plants it is critical to have a sustainable power source. Find out today how you may be able to develop an independent microgrid.
How energy is being produced and consumed in this new energy landscape. We will discuss how Microgrids effect economic gains, improved resiliency and sustainability. Our session will briefly describe what Microgrids are, the types of microgrids and solutions for taking your facility off the grid. What would it take for your facility to be completely independent of Utility Power? Sign up today for our lunch session as we discuss valuable key concepts on keeping your facility up and running 24/7.
