Session Abstract
5:00 - 5:30 pm EDT
C&I Customers - The Microgrids Value Proposition
Belief in large bulk generation is diminishing in light of new EPA regulation, the nuclear moratorium, and the duration and cash it takes to build such facilities. However, load is continuing to grow. The new world order is epitomized by microgrids and the attempt to become a "net zero" consumer. Dramatically affecting this paradigm are new innovations in generation sources, infrastructure, and systems. C&I customers generally have multiple loads and generation, and with the inclusion of AMI, plug-in electric vehicles, new photo voltaic developments, etc., a new paradigm is emerging for the management and control of power on a customer premise. Understanding the implications of operating these microgrids -- the financial implications, risks, and interoperability with the distribution grid -- are critical for the future of the smart grid.
Note: For quality purposes, this presentation was pre-recorded on May 21 for initial broadcast during
