About the talk:
About the talk:
When severe weather or other events take the electric grid down is your community ready? If your answer is no, a community Microgrid might be the solution.
A 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, they can offer efficiency, cost and environmental benefits. A community MG is a group of PG&E customers and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) within a clearly defined electrical boundary able to disconnect and reconnect to the grid, so critical facilities can be safely energized. They are typically designed to provide energy resilience to important community facilities, such as Hospitals, Police and Fire Stations, Gas Stations and Markets.
The local DERs, such as a solar photovoltaic (PV) system and battery, can be owned by third parties and can participate in wholesale markets for energy and related services. PG&E will continue to own and operate the distribution system on which the Microgrid capability is built.
PG&E’s Community Microgrid Enablement Program (CMEP) and Microgrid Incentive Program (MIP) offer both financial and technical support. Creating a community MG requires collaboration between your community, a technical engineering firm, and PG&E. The CMEP and MIP can help you take your community’s energy resilience ideas from concept to reality.
This presentation will offer a general definition of community MGs, including architecture, electrical design, operational modes, DER’s etc., and offer an example of an implemented solution. Also, it will describe CMEP steps including Consultation, Application, Study & Analysis, Development, Operation. The CMEP and MIP work together to fund all aspects of a community Microgrid. They support the development of clean community Microgrids in disadvantaged and vulnerable communities (DVCs). You can apply for either one individually, or for both programs together.
