Microgrids: Building Blocks of the Smart Grid
National Instruments
Description
Advancing technologies in areas such as power electronics, control, monitoring, and power quality are paving the way for a smarter, more efficient and robust electric power grid. However, a lot is left to do before the smart grid can be fully realized. Implementing such a complex grid platform from a top-down approach may not be the best option either. Utilizing microgrids as a foundation for the smart grid could be the answer; a more bottom-up approach that could provide an opportunity to test and prove various smart grid technologies and concepts. This webcast will discuss smart grid topics, introducing microgrids and their benefits and how these small, self-contained energy systems could be the best solution for the next generation electric grid.
