1 Exploring a University Based Microgrid November 3, 2016 Greater Philadelphia Chapter of Association of Energy Engineers Meeting Thomas Nyquist, P.E. Executive Director of Facilities Engineering Princeton University

2 Outline of Presentation 1.Definition of a Microgrid 2.Princeton University s Microgrid Assets 3.Benefits of a Microgrid 1. Reliability 2.Cost Savings 3. Environmental

3 Definition of a Microgrid A local electrical system that combines retail load and distributed generation. A microgrid may include integrated management of thermal and/or electrical load, thermal and/or electrical storage or a smart interface with the grid. It can operate in parallel or in isolation from the grid. KWH Local Generator Utility Meter Synchronizing Isolation Breaker Local Power Demands Central Utility Power Station KWH Utility Meter Isolation Breaker Local Power Demands
