Community Microgrids: A Guide City Leaders Seeking Clean, Reliable and Locally Controlled Energy,
While towns and cities show increasing interest in community microgrids little easily accessible guidance exists for municipal leaders who are exploring the concept. To help these communities get started, Microgrid Knowledge has produced this special report. Read More »
RENEWABLE MICROGRIDS: ISLANDS
The risks and drawbacks—paired with continuing cost reductions in solar, wind, and energy storage technologies—suggest that an alternative to the fully oil-based electricity systems of the past is now available to islands and remote communities across the globe: affordable renewable microgrids.

Microgrid Financing
State regulatory bodies are realizing that out-of-date regulatory rules are limiting Microgrid adoption and are working to change regulation. States such as New York, Connecticut, and Minnesota have allocated funding and started conversations on how best to change the state regulation to allow for Microgrids to be adopted. Read More »
Battery Technology for Microgrids
As large scale battery technology and economies of scale continue to improve, many industrial utilities are investigating the use of battery technology as the basis for Grid Energy Storage Systems (GESS). Based in Victoria, Australia, AusNet Services chose to trial the technology to explore the ability to manage peak demand with the potential to defer investment in network upgrades. This whitepaper presents these results and discusses the future applications for the demonstrated technology. Read More »
Building a Better Microgrid with Hardware in the Loop
The electric power grid is undergoing one of the most fundamental changes since its inception over a century ago. And if the aim of a decentralized and digitalized grid is reliability and resilience, the digital tools used to design, test and integrate the components to achieve that end are of utmost importance. Download the new Microgrid Knowledge report, courtesy of Typhoon HIL, to learn more about how new tools and processes like Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing and Model Based Engineering (MBE) can pave the way to a better microgrid.

Distributed Energy Resources: Breaking Down Barriers
Distributed energy resources (DER) are smaller-scale clean energy resources, such as renewable energy and energy storage resources, located near customer load. In recent years, DERs have made great strides due to market reforms, advanced technologies, and declining costs. Despite these advances, DERs serve less than 1% of electricity load nationally. Many barriers exist to greater deployment of DERs. These barriers include the utility business model, market structure, and regulatory policies.
