Microgrids keep you up when the grid goes down!

While the centralized grid reduced costs and provided more stability 100 years ago, that's no longer the case with an increasing adoption of DERs and local energy storage. Come and hear how these technologies will help microgrids provide better climate resiliency and easier penetration of renewable energies around the globe.

Tech Talk Speakers

Allison Fero http://bit.ly/2qTGZCU
Allie is a member of the Data Science and Optimization team at Advanced Microgrid Solutions, where she develops data analytics tools and contributes to the AMS software and optimization platform. Prior to joining AMS she completed her Master’s degree at MIT with research on designing a control architecture to optimally schedule loads between interconnected microgrids in India. Allie’s experience includes working as a software engineer in the biotechnology space and as a researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Her Bachelor’s degree is in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley.

Bruce Nordman http://bit.ly/2IvA9hF
Bruce is a Research Scientist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research focuses on the intersection of energy use with electronics and networks; network interfaces, network protocols that affects energy use; developing protocols to reduce energy, low-power mode energy use, user interfaces, and grid architecture. His top priority is "Local Power Distribution", a network model of power. He participates in many technology standards committees. Bruce has degrees in Architecture and Energy & Resources from UC Berkeley.
