As part of our Sidewalk Talk Idea Tour on Energy Efficient Neighborhoods (12/13/17), Ted Borer, the energy plant manager for Princeton University, spoke on the topic of district energy, microgrids, and how regional power grids can evolve in future.
Ted emphasizes the importance of building microgrids that work in coordination with combined heat and power and district energy. In this way, local communities can make the grid more reliable and resilient, produce a lower carbon footprint, require less total installed equipment, and generate a higher return on investment.
