Sustainable Silicon Valley presents

Smart Microgrids: Developing Sustainable Power Grids

 

Event Objective and Background:

Microgrids encompass self-contained generation, transmission, distribution, energy storage, and energy management for business and academic campus environments.  Their benefits include the ability to maintain operations even during utility grid disruptions, contribute excess electricity generated from renewable sources back to utility grids, and perform as distributed generation assets that can help stabilize overall grid operations. 

 

This conference explores the requirements, technologies, standards, and R&D ongoing in this Smart Grid sector through the lens of an actual microgrid project underway at Santa Clara University.  Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges of designing, deploying, and managing microgrids, and exhibitors will showcase solutions that support microgrids.

 

Don’t delay registration – seating limited to 100 participants.   

The first 70 people through the door will also receive a FREE EcoMetro guidebook with coupons from local green businesses (retail $20).
