Microgrid Development for Public & Private Sectors East Coast
The marcus evans Microgrid Development for Public & Private Sectors East Coast conference will showcase the latest research, practices and development from the top innovators in the microgrid, technologies and smart grid community. Each presentation will cover in-depth case studies on compelling topics such as successful islanding stories, innovative technologies and the discussion of microgrid regulations and business models.
Strengthening grid resiliency is especially important on the east coast where national disasters, like Hurricane Sandy, can cause major outages, increasing the overall need for a reliable source of backup power. Hospitals, universities, military bases, airports, prisons and national laboratories rely on a critical source of power at all times. In order to ensure continued operations when a grid goes down, the increased research, adoption, development and funding of microgrids is crucial.
VPs, Directors, Senior Executives, Engineers, Professors and Public Officials with responsibilities in Microgrids, Smart Grid Projects, Distributed Generation and Emerging Technologies will discuss what current microgrid systems are the most innovative, efficient and resilient. The further exploration of technologies and the collaboration between utilities and microgrids will ultimately decrease overall costs and create future business opportunities.
