Microgrids for Wildfire Safety, Reliability and Resiliency

Feb. 3, 2021
In this podcast, experts discuss microgrids as a solution for utilities to address reliability and resilience challenges.

Microgrids have emerged as an important and multi-pronged solution for utilities to address reliability and resilience challenges.

A growing number of utilities are committed to exploring microgrids as a near-term solution for resiliency during public safety power shutoffs (PSPS), and investor-owned utilities in California have been mandated to produce plans to do so. In this podcast discussion, utility stakeholders and industry experts discuss the benefits of microgrids alongside some of the questions and hurdles that they have encountered in their own work.

This podcast was sponsored by Power Engineers as part of the T&D World Wildfire & Risk Mitigation Conference in December 2020.
