Since microgrids are not the only way to enhance energy resilience, communities may want to consider alternate resilience investment options, including hardening existing transmission and distribution systems, weatherizing power generation sources, and building additional distribution systems to provide energy supply redundancy.
However, microgrids are just one way to improve the energy resilience of an electric grid and they do have some potential disadvantages: Depending on the complexity, microgrids can have high upfront capital costs. Microgrids are complex systems that require specialized skills to operate and maintain.
Microgrids include controls and communication systems that contain cybersecurity risks.
The solar and energy storage microgrid will improve energy security for the installation and improve the resilience of the base's potable water and firefighting capabilities. These Carbon-Free Technologies Still Get the ITC. How They Can Help Microgrids Meet Soaring Demand
