Why Electrified Transportation Needs Microgrids

Source: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/why-electrified-transportation-needs-microgrids/ Government officials in Montgomery County, Maryland don’t have to speculate about the importance of energy resilience. In 2012 a derecho hit the mid-Atlantic, leading to the deaths of 13 people. The derecho also caused extended power outages for more than 250,000 residents, and this combined with the extremely hot temperatures led to an […]
