Still rare, a nested microgrid connects several separate distributed energy resources or microgrids that are on the same utility circuit. After years of making little progress, community microgrids are rapidly innovating with the most recent example – a nested community. . Blue Lake Rancheria (BLR) extends our sincere appreciation to the California Energy Commision (CEC) for the awarded $5 million in follow-on funding through the EPIC program for our Microgrid 2. 5 billion investment to enhance grid flexibility, improve the resilience of the power system against extreme weather, and ensure American communities have access to affordable. . Abstract: Non-wires alternatives and microgrid technologies are maturing and present great op-portunities for electric utilities to increase the benefits they offer to their customers. They have the potential to decrease the cost of resolving traditional electrical system loading issues, contribute. . The proposed project involves the expansion and reconfiguration of the existing renewable energy microgrid at the Blue Lake Rancheria, including the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, battery energy storage systems (BESS), control systems, and limited trenching and electrical. . y not under utility control, and utility grids. Microgrids provide an attractive framework to achieve this goal, and additionally can deliver grid resiliency in their ability to island from the grid, or by operating as nested microgrids.
