White Paper: Reinventing Electrical Resiliency

This paper discusses a variety of risks to electric infrastructure to demonstrate the impact on the current electric system – from equipment failure due to an aging grid, human error, natural disasters, and new threats such as cyberterrorism. It explores how commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations can address electric resiliency challenges through backup power from traditional fuels to the newest technologies. Finally, it compares the different options and discuss the advantages and drawbacks for each option.

MGK Special Report | Exploring the Frontier of Utility Value-Added Services

With the imperative to provide sustainable energy increasingly joining the safe, reliable, and affordable mandate, the idea that utilities can provide value-added services beyond just delivering electricity and gas has gained momentum around the United States. Value-added services are broadly defined as a utility’s programmatic offerings to customers outside the traditional business of delivering safe, reliable, and affordable system power and gas.

Navigant Research Report: Resiliency Microgrids

This report from Navigant Research explains how modular, low cost microgrids can provide long-duration resiliency services to host customer sites while helping integrate variable renewable energy supplies at the grid operations level.

Microgrids: Data Center Energy Delivery for a Digital Economy

The data center industry continues to meet society’s increased demand for constant connectivity, content delivery, and myriad business and personal necessities. As the data center industry expands, whether in traditional facilities or at the edge, data center leaders seek ways to deploy better, more resilient mission critical operations, including power systems. Meanwhile, severe weather events, cybersecurity threats, and aging equipment strain the electric grid.

White Paper: The Affordable Microgrid

This report from Microgrid Knowledge compares the cost of power outages with the associated economic value of electric reliability. They introduce an innovative approach, reliability-as-a-service, that reduces the capital costs for microgrid customers, and provide real-world examples of how microgrids using this model performed in Texas during Hurricane Harvey.

White Paper: Resiliency Microgrids

This report from Navigant Research explains how modular, low cost microgrids can provide long-duration resiliency services to host customer sites while helping integrate variable renewable energy supplies at the grid operations level. The duality such modular microgrids can offer has been clearly demonstrated in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market. Can a similar approach be applied to other markets, such as California, which has faced several long duration outages over the last three years?
