Brooklyn Microgrid<\/a> aims to do more than merely enabling small-scale trading of environmentally-friendly electricity. In view of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the project plans to install battery storage units within the grid in order to keep the lights on at least temporarily during the next storm-related emergency. If possible, local electricity demand will eventually be adapted to solar energy generation. For example, electric cars could be recharged when the sun is shining and the battery storage units need no additional boost.<\/p>\n“In New York, the Brooklyn microgrid is conceived to work with the conventional grid, which is in the midst of a reboot under Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo\u2019s directives to make it more flexible, resilient and economically efficient while reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. That effort, known as\u00a0Reforming the Energy Vision, or REV, includes encouraging the development of microgrids and more active community participation.” (New York Times)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
