As Cornell students, we created a guide to help people learn about microgrids and the solutions they offer.
MicroGrid Benifits
Understanding microgrids can empower property owners to make smarter energy choices. Whether you’re looking to improve resilience during power outages, lower electricity bills, or explore clean energy options like solar, microgrids offer flexible and efficient solutions. Knowing how they work can help you evaluate if a microgrid is a good fit for your property’s energy needs and long-term sustainability goals.
1. Energy Resilience
Keep the power on during grid outages, providing backup electricity during emergencies
2. Lower Energy Costs
Using local energy sources like solar, microgrids can reduce resiliance on expensive grid power and lower utility bills.
3. Environmental Sustainability
Integrating renewable energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Energy Independence
Give communities and property owners control over their power supply and energy.
5. Grip Support
Help Reduce strain on the main grid during peak hours, helps prevent blackouts and stabilizes energy supplies.
