ACEP Paper Published in IEEE Journal
A new paper by ACEP's Gwen Holdmann, Jeremy Vandermeer, and Richard Wies was recently
published in the peer-reviewed journal .
The paper titled, ‘’, shows that in addition to economic drivers including extremely high energy costs,
the primary technical hurdles for renewable energy integration in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ’s remote
islanded microgrids include management of distributed energy resources and design
for reliable and resilient operation with intermittent high-penetration renewable
generation.
ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ has more than 200 communities operating remote islanded microgrids, and the
lessons learned from renewable integration projects in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ could help inform project
development in other markets, despite differences in climate and geography.
