Do university campuses have microgrids?
Microgrids on campuses face challenges in the instability of power production due to meteorological conditions, as the output of renewable sources such as solar and wind power relies entirely on the weather and determining the optimal size of microgrids. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews the university campuses' microgrids.
Why do colleges need a microgrid?
Microgrids ofer colleges a way to keep critical electricity flowing during power outages, increase use of renewable energy, pursue climate goals, and better optimize energy supplies and campus loads— ofering savings potential to free up funds for other priorities.
Does a microgrid make a college a draw for climate conscious students?
More than half (63%) of students surveyed for the Princeton Review's 2018 “College Hopes & Worries Survey” reported that information about a college's commitment to the environment would influence their application or enrollment decisions. A microgrid on campus makes the college a draw for today's climate conscious students.
Are microgrids a good investment?
As you can see, microgrids are an energy asset that can both save money and earn revenue for a campus, which makes them an appealing energy investment. In addition, they have dropped in price roughly 30% in recent years, according to Navigant Research.
Different types of microgrids
The Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode." [PDF Version]
