Unleashing the power of microgrids | CDM Smith

Watch this episode and earn a PDH:

Cities, towns, counties and industries are working to decarbonize to meet their energy goals. Microgrids are an excellent option for them to consider. This webinar covers the following:

Understanding Microgrids: Dive into the world of microgrids, local energy grids with control capability, which can disconnect from the traditional grid to operate autonomously and help mitigate grid disturbances to strengthen grid resilience.
Efficiency and Smart Operations: Learn how microgrids contribute to energy efficiency and can operate smartly by starting up during high-demand periods to alleviate the load on the conventional power grid.
Case Study Showcase: Gain insights from Fort Wayne, Indiana, a real-world case study demonstrating the successful implementation and benefits of a microgrid system.
