Achieving reliable power with microgrids

Microgrids take advantage of the IIoT to make energy choices based on capabilities like forecasting weather and load optimization


Hospitals use more than double the energy compared to commercial buildings of the same size. They have increasingly turned to microgrid technology to meet their needs, according to an article on the Microgrid Knowledge website.

While microgrid technology has been around for some time now, it has recently achieved a high level of maturity. 

Microgrids now can take advantage of the IIoT to make energy choices based on capabilities like forecasting weather and load optimization, the article said. 

For hospitals, a modern microgrid solution intelligently coordinates onsite, distributed energy generation assets to optimize costs and maintain power stability.
