16th Microgrid Global Innovation Forum in Oakland, CA to Examine Technology and Business Advances

OAKLAND, Calif. - Nov. 8, 2022 - PRLog -- The global microgrid market size was valued at USD 6.76 billion in 2021 and is predicted to surpass around USD 28.51 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 17.34% from 2022 to 2030, according to a September 2022 report by Vision Research. The drivers behind this include the need for greater grid reliability and resiliency, the drive to decarbonize the energy mix, and the desire by commercial and industrial customers to control energy costs.

To explore key issues and opportunities in this field, the 16th Microgrid Global Innovation Forum – North America will be held on December 6-7, 2022 in Oakland, CA.  The event brings together key thought leaders, utilities, energy providers, and other stakeholders to examine the latest technology developments and lessons learned in the design, implementation and operation of hybrid renewable energy microgrids.

"This will be a tremendous opportunity to interact directly with companies at the cutting-edge of microgrid deployment," says Daniel Coran, editor of the Smart Grid Observer and program manager of the Forum. "Top industry experts will be speaking who are pushing the envelope in terms of microgrids for grid resiliency, service flexibility, and DER integration."

This 16^th edition of the Forum will zero in on refining the value proposition and business case for microgrids in North America, integration with the larger grid, and case studies of grid-tied and off-grid projects and pilots to date.

Companies confirmed to speak include Duke Energy, PG&E, Bloom Energy, Schneider Electric, Quanta Technology, Alaska Microgrid Group, New Sun Road, BluWave-ai, Ameresco, Grid Beyond, PXiSE Energy Solutions, 127 Energy, EnTech Solutions, Ageto Energy, American Solar, PowerSecure, ESPE Srl  and many others.

Topics to be addressed during the conference include:

- Microgrid Policy and the Resilient Grid
- Speeding and Scaling the Deployment of Microgrids
- Common Use Cases and Lessons Learned from Operating Microgrid Projects
- Grid Integration of Energy Storage based Microgrids
- Utilities Leveraging Microgrids to Build Resilience and Mitigate Wildfires
