Energy Track: Understanding CRE Opportunities for Distributed Energy Resources – The MICROGRID Conversation Advances
Renewable vs. fossil fuel, grid vs. local vs. hybrid generation, DC vs. AC, analog vs. digital, low-voltage and battery storage are just some of the topics and issues on the minds of those building and operating large real estate projects. Everyone seems to be in agreement that our grid and strategy for delivering electricity is outdated, inefficient, subject to vulnerabilities and in need of some attention. One of the more popular discussions is on the concept of next generation Microgrids. The idea of building a powerplant on-site that takes advantage of all the new concepts and technologies is taking hold. This insightful session will bring together those professionals on the forefront of the Microgrid conversation, presenting ideas, technologies and very innovative case studies.
