If the grid fails, how will that impact your campus operations and affect your students? Securing your campus energy with a microgrid can be the solution – here are 4 steps colleges and universities can take to achieve energy resilience. Giovanna Oriti, center, is working with a multidisciplinary team of NPS faculty and students on microgrids research, advancing Navy installation energy security and resilience in support of the Secretary of the Navy's climate strategy, Climate Action 2030. Other team members. . Some universities are thinking outside the box for a solution, and one answer is microgrids, small electrical networks that can help meet power needs on campus. As one of the premier applied engineering research centers in distributed energy resources and microgrids. . This paper explains how microgrids help flip these problems into opportunities to prepare the workforce for the emerging new energy economy, while yielding low cost, reliable and clean sources of energy. Microgrids ofer colleges a way to keep critical electricity flowing during power outages. . Due to the volatile and intermittent nature of RESs, in this project, machine learning (ML) methods are used to accurately forecast local generation and demand. To do so, historic local data (e.
