How Microgrids Advance the Energy Transition | TCA 7

In this episode of The Code Authority, we explore microgrids. These groups of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) are capable of disconnecting from a centralized electrical utility grid and functioning independently. Microgrids have many safety advantages — for example, a hospital connected to a microgrid may continue functioning independently if its distant, centralized power source shuts down due to severe weather. Microgrids also provide redundancy and resiliency to facilities like data centers, which consume a significant amount of power and require protection from interruptions. But the proliferation of microgrids brings several new safety considerations. Our guests Chris Jensen, regulatory services manager, and Jason Hopkins, principal engineer in Energy and Industrial Automation, discuss the opportunities and challenges in the evolving landscape of microgrids. UL 3001, the Standard for Distributed Energy Generation and Storage Systems, covers large and commercial microgrids.
