Microgrids for Energy Security on DoD Installations
Thursday, December 1, 8:30–11:45 am
Lincoln (Concourse Level)

Chair:  Dr. James Galvin, SERDP and ESTCP

Keynote:  Ms. Merrill Smith, U.S. Department of Energy – Office of Electricity Delivery & Energy Reliability

Description:  The leaders at many military installations are creating microgrids to increase energy security in the event the main electric grid fails. Microgrids can improve operating efficiency, enhance the use of renewables, and reduce energy costs through effective energy management. This session highlighted microgrid design and implementation initiatives and described current efforts aimed at achieving broad-scale microgrid implementation on DoD installations.
