HOMER ENERGY MICROGRID CONFERENCE HOW TO
Examining the role of small-scale and independent power generation sources in modern grids, including solar and wind, and how to leverage them for the greatest financial benefit.Exploring technologies available to implement Microgrid systems, reviewing the costs and returns on investment.Providing new opportunities for system optimization and cost reduction.Maintaining grid stability and integrating various renewable energy resources to improve energy reliability and efficiency of service across businesses, homes and communities.Reshaping the electric grid from a one-way conduit for distributing power into a decentralized, intelligent network.Expanding the market by reducing the complexity of Microgrid implementation.The role of advanced Microgrids in integration and interoperability.Implementing Microgrids for control of local power.Maximizing the use of renewable energy in Microgrids to ensure cost effectiveness and an achieving an acceptable business model for profitability and success.Deploying Microgrids for achieving strategic energy objectives, such as developing storage capacity and increasing energy efficiency.“The microgrid market is currently moving into full-scale commercialization with the launch of dozens of successful pilot programs globally, decreasing costs of solar photo voltaic (PV), and a relaxing of prohibitions against distributed generation operation during times of grid stress, including the ability to island from the larger utility grid during emergencies.” This 30,000-square-foot building features a microturbine, solar PV, geothermal technology, and battery storage. We believe in the technology so much that we installed a microgrid in our Rodman Innovation Pavilion at our World Headquarters in Overland Park, KS. Featuring a Tour of the Rodman Innovation Pavilion at Black & Veatch World HeadquartersĪt Black & Veatch, we have the expertise and resources to deliver your entire microgrid solution. Learn how Milbank integrated SynapSuite at the Missouri University of Science & Technology Solar Village microgrid, as well has how our technology supports the microgrids at the Global Orphan Project complexes in Haiti. Finally, SynapSuite uses predictive analytics to distribute energy and reduce loads to optimize use and intelligently manage energy for consistent, low-cost power. SynapSuite then enters a learning phase, in which it monitors and analyzes usage patterns and available energy input. SynapSuite starts by connecting each generation source of a microgrid, including solar, wind, fuel cell, generators, batteries and more.

Milbank will also feature case studies of the patented technology in action with real time data and results.

The highlight of the tour will include an interactive presentation of Milbank’s state of the art smart technology for managing microgrids – SynapSuite. The 6,000 square foot site houses the company’s UL Testing and Research & Development labs, as well as the training and technology center.

Waldrop Center for Research and Development in Kansas City, MO. Waldrop Center for Research and Development in Kansas City, MOĬonference members will tour Milbank’s Robert F. A three-day conference on capitalizing on Microgrids for improved system energy efficiency, reliability and providing enabling technologies for grid independence.
