A Solar-Powered Microgrid "Lending Library" Could Make
While there''s a parallel conversation underway among advocates and policymakers about making microgrids and distributed solar a more permanent feature of the grid, Footprint also hopes to inspire some of that change from the ground up. Maybe the volunteer fire station decides to put solar panels on its roof when it rebuilds, for instance.
Microgrids, battery storage projects get funding through US''
DTE Energy in Michigan got awarded US$22.7 million to create a network of "adaptive" microgrids that would include 12MWh of battery storage and 500kW of solar generation. DTE''s microgrids could reduce outages for customers within those areas by 50% to 80% and reduce the runtime of diesel generators by 294 hours, or 5% per year.
