Five years ago, #HurricaneMaria devastated the island of #PuertoRico, resulting in billions of dollars in damage. Residents struggled without electricity for months and still experience frequent, long-lasting power outages.
.@ORNL experts have been working with local organizations, nonprofits and universities to build resilience into independent #microgrids powered by renewable energy.
.@ORNL engineers built a #microgrid “orchestrator” that will autonomously manage the microgrids, minimizing impacts of power outages and keeping critical services available.
Initial simulations indicate the #microgrids could keep each other running at least a week, but with ideal conditions they could operate indefinitely.
Moving forward, this technology could be used in more rural, underserved communities to provide reliable, resilient electricity.
