With rising power demands and increasing strain on the US power grid, commercial and industrial facilities face unprecedented energy challenges to their operations. Microgrids offer a smarter, more resilient solution, providing energy independence, cost savings, and enhanced reliability.
Join us as we sit down with Mike Murray, Director of Microgrid Solutions at Generac Industrial Energy. We’ll be breaking down the fundamentals of microgrids and exploring how businesses can leverage them for greater control and long-term energy resilience. Tune in to understand:
- Why Microgrids Matter – Addressing the challenges of grid instability and rising energy costs
- Managing Operating Expenses – Reducing energy spend through strategic power management
- The Building Blocks of a Microgrid – How generators, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), photovoltaic (solar), wind, and other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) work together
- Business Impacts – Stopping utility-imposed demand charges and starting to implement demand response programs
- The Microgrid Controller – The intelligent core that enables seamless energy optimization and confident management
