6 FAQs about [Smart Microgrid Recruitment of Graduate Students]
Are microgrids a'smart campus'?
Although microgrids have existed since the electric grid emerged over a century ago, the technology started regaining traction following Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Today, microgrids are viewed as a key component of the emerging smart grid, as well as the “smart campus” vision as defined by Siemens in their new Campus of the Future report.
What is a campus microgrid?
Microgrids are an energy solution for the times, given that they can help infuse more renewable energy onto our grid while also reducing costs. In addition, a campus microgrid becomes a teaching tool to prepare future engineers on some of the most cutting-edge energy technology now available.
Does a microgrid make a college a draw for climate conscious students?
More than half (63%) of students surveyed for the Princeton Review’s 2018 “College Hopes & Worries Survey” reported that information about a college’s commitment to the environment would influence their application or enrollment decisions. A microgrid on campus makes the college a draw for today’s climate conscious students.
Why do colleges need a microgrid?
Microgrids ofer colleges a way to keep critical electricity flowing during power outages, increase use of renewable energy, pursue climate goals, and better optimize energy supplies and campus loads— ofering savings potential to free up funds for other priorities.
Can microgrids help prepare the workforce for a new energy economy?
This paper explains how microgrids help flip these problems into opportunities to prepare the workforce for the emerging new energy economy, while yielding low cost, reliable and clean sources of energy.
What is microgrid knowledge?
Microgrid Knowledge prepared this report, in partnership with Siemens, to help college and university decision-makers better understand microgrids and the benefits they provide. What is a microgrid? A microgrid is a self-suficient energy system that serves a discrete geographic footprint, such as a business complex, campus or community.
