Power outages are on the rise in the United States, but so are technologies that help systems recover, like distributed energy and sensors. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is leading a project that uses pervasive data and renewable energy to identify and isolate outages, enabling communities to expand awareness of grid conditions during resilience events.
With partner technologies and community input, NREL will demonstrate an automated, affordable, all-in-one method for grid resilience, which can and will be used by vulnerable communities and the utilities that service them. The project is named Solar-HERO (Solar-Assisted, Stakeholder-Engaged Autonomous Restoration with Data Orchestration) and is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office as part of its RACER program.
