Microgrids are gaining attention from organizations and cities because of their potential reliability and resilience benefits, especially in remote geographic areas: Microgrids can provide local power during emergencies, and they can reduce the costs of imported fuel by reducing overall fuel use. But the complexities and novelties of microgrid technologies are often barriers to deployment that require testing and validation to overcome. This report describes the testing, validation, and deployment of microgrid technologies in Cordova, Alaska, completed through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium (GMLC) project Resilient Alaskan Distribution system Improvements using Automation, Network analysis, Control, and Energy storage (RADIANCE).
