For example, solar panels today cost about 1% of what they did 40 years ago, according to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office. Since 2010, the average cost of solar panels in the U.S. has dropped more than 70% and the cost of a solar ...
Ensure constant delivery of electricity to your facility. SEL Engineering Services engineers are experts at microgrid design, whatever the situation or scale.
Because of the rapid advancement of energy utilization in the current scenario, microgrids (MGs) appear to be a substitute for mitigating the hostile outcome of fossil energy exploitation in traditional power plants and its hostile outcome over the territory. The significant advancements in the connect...
The most common definition of a microgrid,(and the definition adopted by the USA’s Department of Energy) is: A group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources with defined electrical boundaries forming a local electric power system at distribution voltage levels, that acts as a sin...

The US Department of Energy has launched the Zero-Net-Energy (ZNE) Commercial Building Initiative (CBI) in order to develop commercial buildings that produce as much energy as they use. Its objective is to make these buildings marketable by 2025 such that they minimize their energy use through...
scientists from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are partnering with local organizations, nonprofits and universities to build resilience into independent microgrids powered by renewable energy. ORNL is developing a technology that will manage groups of small microgrids as a cluster...
One definition often cited is that of the US Department of Energy: “a microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and ...
