Can Distributed Energy Increase Power Reliability and Renewability? Free Webinar Aug. 16
Hi, friends of The Energy Collective: We'd like to
let you know about a free webinar we're hosting Thursday Aug. 16 at 1 PM
EST / 10 AM PST to discuss the potential of distributed energy
generation to improve the reliability and resiliency of our power system
in combination with local "microgrids". Can major power outages like
the one experienced this summer in the mid-Atlantic U.S. be avoided
while CO2 emissions are reduced? Join us to discuss.

"Power Outages and Our Vulnerable Grid:
Can Distributed Energy Resources Deliver Grid Reliability?"
The massive power outages that shocked India at the beginning of August and the recent power disruptions that left 3 million people in the mid-Atlantic U.S. sweltering during a heat wave are just the latest in a pattern of outages caused by weather or other events. These outages highlight one of the greatest weaknesses in today’s power grid - its reliance on wires to deliver electricity from remote generation sources to consumers. However, even limited solutions like putting all overhead lines underground are prohibitively expensive. Abroad, many regions simply suffer from short energy supply generated at a few locations.
Distributed energy resources, including microgeneration, microgrid, and energy storage solutions, may offer resiliency strategies that cost-effectively address overall grid reliability, according to some experts. Join us as we discuss the possibilities of distributed energy resources such as microgrids and the regulatory and economic challenges to their widespread adoption. We'll examine this critical evolution that may shape the future of the power grid:
- How would distributed energy interact with various utilities, including investor-owned, public power, and rural coopertives?
- What are the regulatory inhibitors to widespread adoption?
- What can we learn from other regions of the world as they deploy microgrids and other distributed solutions?
