EU-05 – Distributed energy solutions, smart grids and storage – the perfect combination for sustainability and resiliency

Market economics and dynamics in the energy sector are changing rapidly, creating a compelling reason to consider new distributed energy solutions to support sustainability and carbon reduction objectives. Heightened energy prices and challenges to the larger grid have made localized distributed energy solutions highly cost competitive. The benefits of renewable energy with storage span even further: Imagine not being crippled by a grid outage, or sustaining full operational during a time of crisis? When the proper advanced technologies are in play, the combination of renewable energy coupled with a microgrid and battery storage enable true resiliency at its finest. In the session, we will learn about the experiences and stories of renewable energy implementation on U.S. military bases of Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
