Microgrids contain multiple technologies and often have complex ownership structures. Currently, California and Hawaii are the only states that have approved preliminary microgrid tariffs.
A driving force behind DOE''s microgrid efforts is the Office of Electricity (OE), which collaborates with other DOE offices, the national laboratory complex, state energy offices, utility regulators, and a
This framework provides relevant background information for State Energy Offices and PUC consideration, regardless of their state''s microgrid landscape, through examples from peers as states
Microgrids are usually connected to the local electric grid (or “macrogrid”) but can operate independently, as well. A variety of regulations do not anticipate the interaction of microgrids with the
Conduct action planning and identify next steps for State Energy Offices and PUCs to accelerate deployment of microgrids in support of other state priorities such as grid resilience and transportation
When the main electric grid loses power, the microgrid goes into island mode (i.e., operates independently of the main electric grid) and serves its own customers with the generation and other
Given the diversity of use cases for microgrids, as well as the modular nature of microgrid components and the highly customized configurations that each microgrid use case necessitates, there is no one
With over $6 billion microgrid market share coming from Asia Pacific, over 16,000 microgrids have been installed in South Asia alone (Brown et al., 2024). However, clear governance
