Clean Energy Resilience: Frameworks and Approaches for Customers
This CEBI paper outlines how clean energy and resiliency intersect across facilities, communities, the grid, and generation. It features real-world examples, including Enchanted Rock’s microgrid for Microsoft’s San Jose data center.
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.

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.
Reinventing Electrical Resiliency for the Pharmaceutical Industry
This paper explores how commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations can address electric resiliency challenges through onsite power leveraging traditional fuels to the newest technologies.
Powering Resilient EV Infrastructure
This white paper from Guidehouse investigates the potential of using dual purpose microgrids to overcome the significant challenges faced by fleets, fast charging site operators, and utilities with electricity poised to become the standard for road transportation energy.
Planning for Resiliency in EV Fleets
In many markets, the demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging is outpacing electrical supply. When the overall demand for electricity is too high from charging and other major loads, the grid becomes strained, leading to potential blackouts and challenging outcomes for EV fleets. Resiliency will continue to become even more important as vehicle charging and operation are dependent on the electric grid for fuel.
White Paper: Improving Energy for Digital Infrastructure
The electric grid is a dynamic, multi-faceted ecosystem made up of asset owners, manufacturers, service providers, and federal, state, and local government officials. Ensuring the grid provides reliable, efficient, and sustainable electricity continues to be a challenge across the entire ecosystem. Many of these challenges can be addressed by microgrids which, studies show, offer more resilience and are better for the environment than diesel generators.
Enhancing Resiliency for the Energy Transition
This white paper from Guidehouse explores dual purpose microgrids’ critical role of offering long duration backup power at customer sites and balancing wholesale wind and other renewables on the larger grid to guarantee resilient electricity.
Decarbonized Resilience
A critical question facing utilities, regulators, communities, large energy users, and other industry stakeholders is whether the same level of local community resilience provided by diesel backup generators can be achieved through economical microgrid alternatives that are more consistent with clean energy goals.
