Los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos amenazan con dañar el sistema eléctrico e interrumpir el suministro eléctrico. Estos fenómenos meteorológicos en Wisconsin están aumentando tanto en frecuencia como en impacto y el impacto económico, provocando apagones prolongados y afectando de forma desproporcionada a las comunidades más desfavorecidas.

This project presents an opportunity to collaborate with a Wisconsin elementary school which is designated as an American Red Cross Shelter to assess the feasibility of deploying a microgrid as a pre-disaster mitigation technique. An appropriately sized microgrid could insulate the facility from the impacts of prolonged outages and build resilience for the community. This study identifies a microgrid as a resilience solution, develops microgrid designs that incorporate varying power supply technologies, and utilizes stakeholder input to evaluate the feasibility of each microgrid design. This feasibility study was funded by a grant from WI OEI and donated funds and working time from SEPA, Florence Utility Commission (Florence Utilities), the School District of Florence County, and WPPI Energy
