State Policy Innovations Crucial to Adoption of Microgrid Technology
Microgrids can improve resilience, decarbonization and affordability of the electric grid, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. However, legacy state energy policies remain a barrier to timely development. In collaboration with the research group Wood Mackenzie, the industry trade group Think Microgrid has developed a road map for new approaches designed to promote microgrid commercialization across the United States.
Decarbonize industrial processes and our energy future with green hydrogen
Hydrogen can decarbonize hard-to-abate, energy- and carbon-intensive industrial processes, long-haul transporting, and ammonia production. But making hydrogen requires a significant amount of electricity. But when the hydrogen (H2) is not green, the carbon footprint of producing the hydrogen counteracts its value as a clean fuel source. Green hydrogen delivers clean energy with only water and heat as a byproduct.

Engineers Without Borders Germany Uses HOMER® Software to Repower a Village School in Nepal
The power often failed at a primary school in a remote Nepalese village. Even worse, the school was vulnerable to frequent lightning strikes. To improve the learning conditions and safety, Engineers Without Borders Germany upgraded the school’s electrical system and installed lightning protection, new solar panels, batteries, and wiring. Now, students can work without power outages or fear of lightning strikes. Thulodhunga is a remote Nepalese village in the rugged foothills of the Himalayas.
